Lyrics

Sometimes of an evening, when the sky is playing colors
and the sun makes its solemn way to bed,
I remember all the hours when I was lost in my own darkness
and the spirits and the sirens sang seductive in my head.

Then I'll come back to my front porch,
let the screen door close behind me,
and you look at me as if to wonder, "why?"
And you offer me a smile of no particular intention
and I know I'm seeing heaven in you eyes.

And I'm so happy to be home
here by the fire that keeps me warm.
Held in your loving arms where I belong.
And I'm so happy, so happy,
so happy to be home.

There was once a time I wandered. When the bright lights and the music
and the perfume of the evening called my name.
And I drowned myself in sorrow, and some casual companions,
and awoke embracing nothing but my everlasting shame.

Then I came back to my front porch,
let the screen door close behind me,
and you looked at me and never asked me, "why?"
And you took me in your arms, your forgiveness my salvation.
And the love light was still shining in your eyes.

And I'm so happy to be home
here by the fire that keeps me warm.
Held in your loving arms where I belong.
And I'm so happy, so happy,
so happy to be home.
