(4:35)

Went out on a limb,
Gone too far,
Broke down at the side of the road,
Stranded at the outskirts and the sun's creepin' up.

Baby's in the backseat,
Still fast asleep,
Dreamin' of better days,
I don't want to call you, but you're all I have to turn to.

What do you say,
When it's all gone away?
Baby, I didn't mean to hurt you,
Truth spoke in whispers will tear you apart,
No matter how hard you resist it,
It never rains when you want it to.

You humble me, Lord,
You humble me, Lord,
I'm on my knees - empty,
You humble me, Lord,
You humble me, Lord,
So please, please, please forgive me

Baby Teresa, she's got your eyes,
I see you all the time,
When she asks about her daddy,
I never know what to say.

Heard you kicked the bottle,
And you helped build the church,
You carry an honest wage,
Is it true you have somebody keeping you company?

What do you say,
When it's all gone away?
Baby, I didn't mean to hurt you,
Truth spoke in whispers will tear you apart,
No matter how hard you resist it,
It never rains when you want it to.

You humble me, Lord,
You humble me, Lord,
I'm on my knees - empty,
You humble me, Lord,
You humble me Lord,
So, please, please forgive me,
You humble me.

This song makes me remind about the time that I spent with my son's father,makes me realize that it would never come back.
And even if I think about him sometimes, he is now rolling too with some new lover and I am still alone.

This song is quite special for me, since I am single mom; this song remains me to the deepest feelings and fears of my heart.
Lyric simply express frustrations that one can feel,
thinking about the questions that you will have to answer sometime. And also brings hope cause no matter how empty you can feel you are, you will always find faith to stand up and move forward on the life road.
CHEEEEEERS !!!!

One of my favourites on "Feels like home"-CD, both the music and lyrics are beautiful.
