Long Road to Forgiveness

The screen door is creaking

on its rusted hinge

The shadows are long on the lawn

And I've spent some years on a bitter-dry fringe

Just waiting around for the dawn (mmmmm)

But the long road home

is wider than we know

And there's grace in the quiet evening light

Yeah, we learn to let

the heavy grudges go

As the day fades

into night

My brother was stubborn,

and I was the same

Two currents that crashed

in the dark

But time has a way

of dissolving the blame

And leaving a softer,

deep mark

(ahhhh) But the long road home

is wider than we know

And there's grace in the quiet evening light

Yeah, we learn to let

the heavy grudges go

As the day fades

into night

Just a long road home

(mmm-hmm) Just a quiet grace
