Lyrics

Porchlight

[Chorus]

So far away

Curses wild upon you

Hungry and gaining

Porchlight burns so far away

Miles away

[Verse]

Days have gone by and I've barely gone

Safe on the road that speeds from your front door

I can't turn around 'cause I long to be forgiven

It hangs in my hair and the hems of my clothes

I've poured in the madness my arms could not hold

I can't tell you why 'cause I long to be forgiven

[Chorus]

So far away

Curses wild upon you

Hungry and gaining

Porchlight burns so far away

Miles away

[Verse]

I'm sorry to tread on your patience, my dear

My heart might be willing by this time next year

I can't make you wait 'cause I long to be forgiven

[Chorus]

So far away

Curses wild upon you

Hungry and gaining

Porchlight burns so far away

Miles away
