Front Porch

Front Porch - Joy Williams

There are no wrong roads

And no window stays closed

And love is always sad when it fades

But glass is better stained anyways

If never you find what you're looking for

Come on back to the front porch

Say my name through the screen door

Come on back to the front porch

Whatever you've done it doesn't matter

'Cause darling we're all a little splintered and battered

But the light is on what you waiting for

Come on back come on back to the front porch

We carved a story in these boards

Watching life go back and forth

You take it all for granted then you leave

And then it takes a while to realize what you need

If never you find what you're looking for

Come on back to the front porch

Say my name through the screen door

Come on back to the front porch

Whatever you've done it doesn't matter

'Cause darling we're all a little splintered and battered

But the light is on what you waiting for

Come on back come on back

I took the long way

Looking for the shortcut

To find out that this place

Was made of the best of

If never you find what you're looking for

Come on back to the front porch

Say my name through the screen door

Oh come on back to the front porch

Whatever you've done it doesn't matter

'Cause darling we're all a little splintered and battered

But the light is on what you waiting for

Come on back come on back

Oh come on back come on back to the front porch
