Lyrics

Verse

The coffee's getting cold in the cup
I keep waiting for you to wake up
The porch swing hums a lonely tune
Underneath a hollow moon
I’m still looking for your face
In every corner of this place

Chorus

Oh, the master’s gone to glory
But the hound stays behind
Searching for the spirit
That he’s never gonna find
Lord, help this faithful heart
Since we’ve been torn apart

Verse

He sits by the gate in the morning light
Waiting through the heavy night
He doesn't know the time has passed
That the love we had was meant to last
He rests his head upon your shoes
Listening for the holy news

Chorus

Oh, the master’s gone to glory
But the hound stays behind
Searching for the spirit
That he’s never gonna find
Lord, help this faithful heart
Since we’ve been torn apart

Bridge

A wagging tail in a quiet room
A lonely shadow in the gloom
He’s a living prayer, a soulful cry
Waiting for a sweet goodbye
When the gates swing wide and free
Will you call him home to thee?

Chorus

Oh, the master’s gone to glory
But the hound stays behind
Searching for the spirit
That he’s never gonna find
Lord, help this faithful heart
Since we’ve been torn apart
