lyrics

I thought I saw a carpenter coming down the road
He didn’t have a hammer, but he had a heavy load
He reached his nail-scarred hands and I caught a glimpse of home
When I saw the carpenter coming down the road

I thought I saw a carpenter dressed in only white
We had never met before, but I’ve known him my whole life
In his eyes I saw forgiveness like the stories I’d been told
When I saw the carpenter coming down the road

He said “I’m glad to see you, son, but now is not your time
You’ve got more roads to travel before you put your hand in mine”
He said, “No matter what’s ahead, you’ll never walk alone
I’ll always be beside you ‘til it’s time to come back home”

He said “I’m glad to see you, son, but now is not your time
You’ve got more roads to travel before you put your hand in mine”
He said, “No matter what’s ahead, you’ll never walk alone
I’ll always be beside you ‘til it’s time to come back home”

I thought I saw a carpenter coming down the road
He didn’t have a hammer, but he had a heavy load

1st time i heard DeathWish, i turned it off. felt rushed, not the Isbell i've come to admire. really grab'd me when i took time to listen on the 2nd try. the writing on these songs stopped me in my tracks more than once. raw talent with just enough polish in the delivery. thankyou Jason + 400 for another keeper swirlingmadness
