(Feat. Kelly Filer)

Gina Boe/Lisa Qualsett/Bill Filer/Chris Filer



I’ve cradled the grieving

And soaked up the tears

I’ve heard vain attempts

To make up for the years

I’m a keeper of stories, row after row

If only you knew what I know



Sorry’s no good when you’re standing alone

Begging forgiveness from a name carved in stone

Speak all the words you’ve been dying to say

They belong to the living and not to the grave



A father’s neglect

That can’t be undone

The shame and regret

Of a prodigal son

Seeking a pardon they come and they go

I listen, but can’t offer hope



If the hurt runs deep

Let love run deeper still

Make your apologies, don’t wait

Don’t wait until…
