The Lone Star Ballroom Lyrics

I stand here on your porch, hat in my hand Words caught in my throat like grains of sand

Five years gone by since I walked away Now I'm back to make it right, if I may

You look older now, lines around your eyes I've changed to learn to compromise

The anger's faded, left a dull ache behind But seeing you here brings it all to mind

Can we build a bridge over troubled water Find our way back to solid ground

Years of silence, heartache and distance Let love be lost and then found

Be a space between forgiveness and pride There's a chance for us to turn the tide

I've rehearsed this speech a thousand times Apologies for all my crimes

But standing here, words seem so small Against the weight of it all

Part of me wants to slam this door Pretend you're not the man I once adored

But another part sees the boy I knew In those eyes of faded blue

Can we build a bridge over troubled water Find our way back to solid ground

Years of silence, heartache and distance Let love be lost and then found

Be a space between forgiveness and pride There's a chance for us to turn the tide

You're older now, maybe wiser too Perhaps it's time for me and you

To lay down arms, let old wounds heal And see if what we had was real

Let's build a bridge over troubled water Find our way back to solid ground

Years of silence, heartache and distance Let love be lost and then found

Be a space between forgiveness and pride We'll find the strength to turn the tide

Hand in hand we'll cross that bridge Over troubled water to a new beginning

Thanks for watching
