No Words

I was ten when my daddy left home, he went unheard.
Momma cried herself to sleep as I tried to figure out the absurd
Tom and Jerry flickering in the light,
No sound, no words, not even a fight.
There are no words. There are no words.
The bottle became one of my best friends, and my home.
We stuck together side by side, Lord, never alone.
And I soon became like that man I’d never known.
All my dreams flickering in the night.
No sound, no words, not even a fight.
There are no words. There are no words.
There are no words. There are no words.
Bridge:
Redemption is around the corner.
No matter what you’ve seen and heard.
Redemption is what you want now
But you can’t get it with your words.
Ten years clean and my best friend is my son.
You know he forgave me, Lord,
for all the things I’d never done (every one)
They say that time can heal all wounds, but I think they’re wrong.
All my dreams flickering in the light.
No sound, no words, not even a fight.
There are no words. There are no words.
There are no words. There are no words.
