I Know That Man

I know that man

Sittin' on the porch

He leaves his candle in the window

He hasn't moved in days

I know that man

They say his kid packed up and left

They say he waits for him to come home

And though they parted ways

He waits

He waits

I heard of that kid

They say he spent all that he had

To catch onto a feeling, mm

I bet he misses his dad

I heard he's lonely

Spending nights on strangers' beds

For a taste of affection

But he can't bring himself to go back

So he waits

He waits

And as the seasons change

The father doesn't move

But he makes sure that dinner stays warm

Until this kid, now a broken down soldier

Packs up his things

And turns home after war

After all these years

After all these years

He sees his house

And his candle flickering

And his father comes on down

And he takes off, running

I was that kid

Rebellious and young

But my Abba Father

He never wavered His love

I was that kid

I was that kid

But I know that Man

I know my Dad

I know that Man
