On a doorstep the night you set me free Lonely walks and empty talks And there's no one there but me And I still feel the heartbreak rolling down my cheeks As I call out your name and nobody speaks Just a letter from your wayward son... My heart gets twisted inside forgiving you And I don't guess you'll ever Know what I been through It's been over forty miles traveled on my knees If you listen to the wind you can still hear my pleas Just a letter from your wayward son... Sixteen candles burning bright and standing high Reaching so desperately for your sweet breath lullaby Accepting everything I know I'll never know But why'd you ever let that blue-eyed baby go Just a letter from your wayward son...
