Haven't seen you 'round here for awhile
I mentioned your name and i saw him smile
Sittin' on the front porch waiting
Sittin' on the front porch waiting
Every little one to him belongs
You might be weak but he is strong
Sittin' on the front porch waiting
Sittin' on the front porch waiting

So come on home, come on home
Though you left, he couldn't forget
Just just come on home

Love and pain you've known to well
Been backed right down to the gates of hell
Sittin' on the front porch waiting
Sittin' on the front porch waiting
But mercy's reach is within your grasp
You'll find it where you found it last
Sittin' on the front porch waiting
Sittin' on the front porch waiting

Can you see his eyes, they search for you
Can you feel his cries, they long for you
They long for you, they long for you
