Feet For Wings Memories Lyrics

There was a man who lived alone
His memory had taken all he’d known
He stares at a picture without name
Wondering why he feels ashamed
But that memory has left him
Oh, that memory has left him

He’s just waiting for
Memories of what happened before
To come flooding back to him (x2)

There was a time when he was young
His heart was warm; now it’s just numb
Longing for love to come back home
But it had left him years ago

He’s just waiting for
Memories of what happened before To come flooding back to him (x2)

And as it dawns on him
That he’s not going to last that long
A year or so and he’ll be gone
And he’ll lie down and the Lord will say:
“Put on your coat and hat and come home”

He’s got his hand on the handle of the door
He’s waiting for what’s in store
Cause he’s going back to him (x2)

Even though your breath is fading
You are still my child
Everyone you ever loved is waiting just for you
To come back home
