Letra Searching for a light Turnpike Troubadours

Searching for a light

Well, you come out of nowhere like a small-town force of nature
A greater generation coming back to show its face
Long before the world would ask you what you had to offer
Some old busted banjo picking out "Amazing Grace"

Find me in the darkness past the bridges I left broken
A heart that's cut wide open like a child that's gone astray
Forgive me of my nonsense, I'm still out here chasing shadows
And searching for a light I never thought would go away

Well, I don't know a world without you, but I'm safe in saying
Th? contrast and the color woulda lost their clarity
That old piano going out of tune with no playing
In th? bedroom of a farm house built in 1923

Find me in the darkness past the bridges I left broken
Like a heart that's cut wide open like a child that's gone astray
Forgive me of my nonsense, I'm still out here chasing shadows
And searching for a light I never thought would go away

Well, I could spend a lifetime making something out of sorrow
But I will not trade tomorrow for the pain I feel today
So I pull my collar closer and I let the wind blow by me
I've got no tears left to cry about the world that's gone away

Find me in the darkness past the bridges I left broken
Feel like a heart that's cut wide open like a child that's gone astray
Forgive me of my nonsense, I'm still out here chasing shadows
And searching for a light I never thought would go away
