🎸 Lyrics:
He lit a candle with a shiverin’ hand
In a room no fire could warm
A letter laid across his knees
As outside raged the storm
His breath was thin, his body frail
But love was holdin’ fast
He wrote to her, his only girl,
A bridge back to the past

"My dearest one," the letter said,
"I know I went astray…
Life took me down a crooked road,
I never meant to stay.
But though I missed your brightest years,
My heart was always near,
And now I send this last goodbye
In ink and Daddy’s tears."

And he whispered to the night, “Go find her, Max, my son…”
With a faithful wag, the journey had begun
Across the frozen alleys, under moon and sun
Carrying the words of a father come undone
Through the hunger, through the rain, through a world that turned away
He walked the path love made that day

His paws were raw, his belly bare
But still he pressed ahead
With every step, he heard the call
Of the man who now lay dead
The paper tucked beneath his fur
Was more than just a plea
It was the soul of one who once was lost
Now begging to be seen

And when he found her, standing still
With years behind her eyes
She knelt beside that weathered hound
And heard her father’s cries
She read the lines, the broken prose
The love, the shame, the grace
And saw the man she thought she’d lost
Reach out from time and space

And the wind it carried softly, “Thank you, Max… well done.”
A quiet bark, a setting of the sun
Not all who stray are meant to run
Some just lose their way, then come back home as one
Through the sorrow, through the pain, through the years they couldn’t say
He walked the path love paved that day

Now there’s a candle in her window
And a collar by her door
And a dog who found forgiveness
Where a man had failed before
