Vince Gill

(feat. Guy Clark)
He was sitting in the corner
At a table all a lone
A candle burnin in the darkness
His glass of wine was almost gone
Something about him felt familiar
And it made me atop and a stare
The way he held his hands before him
Looked like he was lost in prayer
Hey son, what are you looking at?
Why do your eyes look so sad?
Theres something in the way he sat there
Made me think about my dad
Im looking for the answer
Just like everyone
I know that theres no ending
To the love between a father and a son
Hey son, why dont you pull up one of those empty chairs?
Bring it over here by my side
Buy me a glass of wine
This looks like a real good place to hide
You know Ive always been a fisherman
Fishin for souls along the way
You kind of remind me of my only son
I lost him 33 years ago today
Im looking for the answer
Just like everyone
I know that theres no ending
To the love between a father and a son
Theres somethin Id sure like to give you
Its a compass that my Father made
He told me itd point you in the right direction
In case you ever lose your way
You know Ive got somethin here in my pocket
This little silver cross
I think my son would want you to have it
When you think all the hope is lost
Were looking for the answer
Just like everyone
We know that theres no ending
To the love between a father and a son
I left him sitting at his table
But I didnt feel alone
For a moment I could see the light
Oh we were almost home
For a moment I could see the light
Oh we were almost home
