| He was sitting in the corner
 | 
| At a table all alone
 | 
| A candle burnin' in the darkness
 | 
| His glass of wine was almost gone
 | 
| And something about him felt familiar
 | 
| And it made me stop and stare
 | 
| The way he held his hands before him
 | 
| Looked like he was lost in prayer
 | 
| Hey son, what are you lookin' at?
 | 
| Why do your eyes look so sad?
 | 
| There’s somethin' in the way he sat there
 | 
| It made me think about my dad
 | 
| I’m lookin' for the answer
 | 
| Just like everyone
 | 
| I know that there’s no ending
 | 
| To the love between a father and the son
 | 
| Hey son, why don’t you pull up one of those empty chairs?
 | 
| Bring it over here by my side
 | 
| Buy me a glass of wine
 | 
| This looks like a real good place to hide
 | 
| You know I’ve always been a fisherman
 | 
| Fishin' for souls along the way
 | 
| You kind of remind me of my only son
 | 
| And I lost him 33 years ago today
 | 
| I’m lookin' for the answer
 | 
| Just like everyone
 | 
| I know that there’s no ending
 | 
| To the love between a father and the son
 | 
| There’s somethin' I must give you
 | 
| The compass that my father made
 | 
| It’ll point you in the right direction
 | 
| In case you ever lose your way
 | 
| You know I’ve got somethin' here in my pocket
 | 
| This is little silver cross
 | 
| I think my son would want you to have it
 | 
| When you think all the hope is lost
 | 
| We’re lookin' for the answer
 | 
| Just like everyone
 | 
| We know that there’s no ending
 | 
| To the love between a father and the son
 | 
| I left him sitting at his table
 | 
| But I didn’t feel alone
 | 
| For a moment I could see the light
 | 
| Oh, we were almost home
 | 
| For a moment I could see the light
 | 
| Oh, we were almost home |
