Lyrics
Some had come back broken, Some you couldn't tell, But if you looked into their eyes, you could see their pain as well. At the counter in the diner, He sat down next to me, Just a few still quiet minutes, then He spoke while sipping tea. Chorus: He said it's Sunday and the folks are here for dinner; The table's set, my wife and kids, are waiting for me there. Well I know I should be happy, God's blessings have been kind, Just can't find the part of me I left behind. Though this place is son familiar, is it where I need to be, The small town streets keep calling, bringing distant memories. Well known faces that I see, they smile and say "hello" to me; I can't find the peace inside of me and it just won't let me be. Chorus: Some had come back broken, Some you couldn't tell, But if you looked into their eyes, You could see they'd been through Hell.
