[00:08.71]Henry loves the ballpark
[00:12.34]But lately he ain't coming round
[00:16.59]Things have been so different
[00:20.53]Since his youngest boy left town
[00:25.59]
[00:31.97]Fighting seem so harmless
[00:34.22]Families sometimes disagree
[00:36.72]It's hard to know the reason
[00:43.62]Why he finally chose to leave
[00:48.31]But he's gone away
[00:53.12]And his father waits
[00:59.95]
[01:02.08]And he is watching and he is hoping
[01:09.82]Though his eyes are weary, his arms are still open
[01:17.64]And his prayer, so softly spoken
[01:26.77]
[01:28.77]Please come home
[01:32.07]
[01:40.39]Now Henry sits and wonders
[01:44.69]In that front porch rocking chair
[01:48.63]Does his boy remember
[01:52.93]All the love the family shared
[01:57.56]And is he cold
[02:05.36]Out there alone
[02:10.80]And he is watching and he is hoping
[02:18.74]Though his eyes are weary, his arms are still open
[02:26.61]And his prayer, so softly spoken
[02:37.55]Please come home
[02:44.12]To your seat at the table
[02:47.68]To your father who weeps
[02:51.41]Every night in sleepless dreams
[02:55.60]He longs to see
[02:59.48]His face in younger skin
[03:04.48]Running down the driveway again.
