Sight Unseen Lyrics

Old man comes out of the rain
His heart's as heavy as night
There was a time, he was a soldier boy
He forgot the times before the war
There was a girl, he could have called his wife
But he let her slip right through his handsHe plays guitar on the corner some
But not enough to be a star
But it's enough just to have some fun
And make some people happy awhileHe's searching for a sight unseen
For what his father has not been
He's searching for a feeling, he calls homeWent to church to pray for a sign
Throw me a rope, Lord, throw me a line
So I can hang on or I can climb
I don't really careI just want to find my own way
Sing the songs that my guitar plays
Make a child smile, make a daddy cry
Make my mama sing a lullabyI'm searching for a sight unseen
For what my father has not been

I'm searching for a feeling, I call homeYeah, I'm searching for a sight unseen
For what my father has not been
I'm searching for a feeling, I call home
