lyrics

home again

when they found him he was floating, a blow to his head
no one there had seen
who it was had left him for dead
in the shallows of the san joaquin

i heard about it many years later
drawn to mysteries past
shadows on the wall, ghosts in the doorway
they talked to me at last

it's too late to be a child again
and you're too old to be afraid of the dark
we showed you how to trade prayer for sin
still sometimes life's too hard
and you can never go home again

they stood beside her and told her she'd get well
knowing it was a lie
he had every intention of saying goodnight
but instead he said goodbye

so they gave me a shot of whiskey and they sent me to bed
and i lay there in the moon
i was thinking about the way she'd touch my head
when she came into the room

and said it's too late to be a child again
you're too old to be afraid of the dark
sure we showed you how to trade prayer for sin
still sometimes life's too hard
and you can never go home again

so i carry these words like a fever
and i'll tell it any way i can
i can't help being a believer
if that's what i am

too late to be a child again
and i'm too old to be afraid of the dark
sure i know how to trade prayer for sin
but sometimes life's too hard
and you can never go home again

about

Karen Savoca Oneida, New York

Karen’s baby diary reads, "20 months, knows 6 songs." Her mother, a big band singer, was not surprised to find her constantly dancing and singing.

"A voice with this much strength and easy confidence is a rare find. Her songs are filled with good humor, sensuality and nature's simple pleasures. She can work a sly smile into a lyric that makes you smile in spite of yourself." All Music Guide
