Front Porch Prayer

Lyrics

Verse 1
Somebody please tell me what to do
I’m down on my knees
With my head bowed low
Got a house full of shadows
And a ring on the sink

I keep calling your name
In the empty hall
The dog's at the door
Like he heard you come
But it’s just the wind
And my faith gone thin

Pre-Chorus
I’m asking heaven
For one more sign
I’ve been broke in half
For a long, long time
If mercy’s listening
I need it now

Chorus
Bring my wife back home to me
(Bring my wife back home)
Bring my wife back home to me
(I’m begging, please)
I can’t carry this hurt alone
Bring my wife back home to me

Verse 2
Your coffee cup sits
By the busted chair
Your boots by the mat
Like you never left there
I fold your old coat
Just to feel you near

I know I’ve been stubborn
I know I was wrong
A little too proud
A little too gone
But I’m still the man
Who waits by the phone

Pre-Chorus
I’m asking heaven
For one more sign
I’ve been broke in half
For a long, long time
If mercy’s listening
I need it now

Chorus
Bring my wife back home to me
(Bring my wife back home)
Bring my wife back home to me
(I’m begging, please)
I can’t carry this hurt alone
Bring my wife back home to me

Bridge
If you can hear me
Out past the pain
Send her my way
Through the pouring rain
I’ll leave the porch light on
I’ll keep the door unlocked
I’ll keep this prayer alive
Till my heart stops

Final Chorus
Bring my wife back home to me
(Bring my wife back home)
Bring my wife back home to me
(I’m begging, please)
I can’t carry this hurt alone
Bring my wife back home to me
(Bring her home)
Bring my wife back home to me
