lyrics

In a small town graveyard
Sits an old man who just prays
Since she's died life's been too hard
and he just thinks about their wedding day

In his hand he holds a gold key
Used to open their first home
When he leaves he passes that old street
The house is there but everything is gone

And he's on his own again
Like a leaf in the wind
Born into this world alone
In between we look for home
Then on our own again

On the outskirts of Reno
A woman's face is black and blue
She cries her last tear and then knows
This isn't love what I've been through.

And she's on her own again
Like a leaf in the wind
Born into this world alone
In between we look for home
Then on our own again

Suitcase in a desert motel
She thinks about the roads gone wrong
Her makeup tries to hide her blackened eyes
And hesitantly picks up her phone

He had a tear that's been falling
since he left his wife's gravestone
But once he saw his daughter calling
He knew deep inside he's not alone

Cause she's coming home again
Like a prayer in the wind
Born into this world alone
But I know there is a home
in love my friend

Yeah she's coming home again
Like a prayer in the wind
Born into this world alone
But I know there is a home
in love my friend
in love my friend
