Phil Joel Album: the deliberatePeople album Track: Drainpipe
Drainpipe Lyrics
I watched you climbing From the window of your house Down the drainpipe to the lawn The rain was falling hard Upon your face you turned You were crying but I couldn't tell
Safety was no longer Within the confines Of your walls Maybe it would be better to run away
Prodigal Where do you go When you go prodigal Come home
I see you keep moving But the concrete's setting Hard around your heart We both smile and say "hey" So near and yet so far away
And so we talk awhile N' while we talk you drift away Standing there You were crying but I couldn't tell
Prodigal Where do you go When you go prodigal Come home Come home now
Music & lyrics by Phil Joel, Heather Joel
Song Description: "Heather and I wrote this song a long time ago, but it never got finished. It's a simple song with a message that can be as simple or as complicated as you want. The song asks the question "where do you go when you go prodigal?" I think it's an important thing to ask ourselves." - Phil Joel
