[00:14.37]Come Back Charlie - Mikhail Bennett
[00:16.82]Charlie
[00:19.60]This house don't feel alive
[00:23.20]Since you walked away from home
[00:32.54]Charlie
[00:33.98]I still hear your boots at midnight
[00:38.45]But I wake up here alone
[00:45.84]Your mother's picture by the window
[00:50.70]Still watches over me
[00:56.34]Charlie
[00:58.01]Every night I ask Jesus
[01:02.22]To bring you back to me
[01:08.73]The Bible says a father waits
[01:13.06]For sons who lose their way
[01:16.20]Charlie
[01:17.27]I still leave the porch light on
[01:21.17]Hoping you might stay
[01:23.24]Come back Charlie
[01:28.51]Before these old hands turn to dust
[01:36.02]Charlie
[01:37.43]There's too many words between us
[01:41.92]And not enough time for us
[01:48.04]I still pray about you
[01:52.56]Every night before I sleep
[01:56.86]Charlie
[01:58.71]I ask God to hold you closer
[02:02.48]Than these tired arms can reach
[02:08.17]And if this world has made you broken
[02:12.17]If your heart's too tired to fight
[02:16.77]Come back Charlie
[02:20.09]Your father's still waiting with the light
[02:33.46]After your mother went to heaven
[02:37.39]I became a different man
[02:42.42]Charlie
[02:43.85]I tried to drown my pain in whiskey
[02:48.23]Instead of God's hands
[02:53.02]Maybe I pushed you farther from me
[02:57.04]Maybe grief made my soul cold
[03:01.39]Charlie
[03:02.95]But there's no road too far for mercy
[03:08.18]And no son too lost for home
[03:15.71]Charlie
[03:18.65]I'm not angry anymore
[03:22.85]I just miss my son
[03:26.88]More than words before the Lord
[03:32.19]Come back Charlie
[03:36.37]Before all we have left are photographs
[03:40.37]Charlie
[03:42.88]Before the only voice you hear from me
[03:46.72]Belongs to the past
[03:52.27]If you walk through that doorway
[03:56.24]I won't ask where you've been
[04:00.87]Charlie
[04:02.46]I'll thank God for one more moment
[04:07.61]To hold my son again
[04:13.63]The porch light's on Charlie
[04:18.34]Just in case you come home
