How Many Times
A folk ballad telling the story of a prodigal son.
How many times before you let me go
How many times before the wounds no longer heal
How many times must I break your heart
Before you just give up and let me slip away
You were always faithful, you were always true
All the times I tried to roam, you would not let me go
You would not desert me, you always brought me home
And like a cross you had to bear, you would not let me go
You would not let me go
How many times have you forgiven me
How many times have you saved me from myself
How many times have you rescued me
So many times your love has brought me to my knees
You were always faithful, you were always true
All the times I tried to roam, you would not let me go
You would not desert me, you always brought me home
And like a cross you had to bear, you would not let me go
You would not let me go
