He wakes up as the evening fades to night 
To the chiming of an ice cream van that hides 
Out there in the dark 
And sound echoes through the empty park 
He’s lost and far from home 
His body’s feeling beat up and abused 
His whiskey and his luck, they all got used 
And then the phone rings 
And he hears the angel sing 
Please won’t you come home? 

And time seems to pass him by 
Ravens all calling from the sky 
And God takes his vengeance slow 
Maybe that’s the way the story goes? 
Is that just how you feel when you get old? 

He’s searching for the answer everywhere 
Then God turned up one morning with a prayer 
And he said you're mine 
Just have one more glass of wine 
And then I’m taking you home 
And wind whispers secrets cold 
From the footsteps of the empty midnight den
They shine under silver moons 
And whisper while he’s sleeping in your bed 
Home’s not just a place to lay your head
