Lyrics
[Verse 1] I kept your letter in the kitchen drawer Beside the keys you left beside the door The paper bends where i have read it through But every crease still leads me back to you [Pre-Chorus] Across the miles, the seasons turn Some little things refuse to learn [Chorus] I carry your name like a thread in my sleeve A quiet reminder of all i believe If distance is water, and memory shore I’ll wait where the tide leaves your footsteps once more [Verse 2] The old blue cup still warms my hands at dawn I catch myself expecting you to yawn The kettle sings, then settles into air And for one second i can feel you there [Pre-Chorus] The house grows still, the hours move I save a place for what we knew [Chorus] I carry your name like a thread in my sleeve A quiet reminder of all i believe If distance is water, and memory shore I’ll wait where the tide leaves your footsteps once more [Bridge] Maybe the road will soften with the rain Maybe your voice will find this room again Until that day, i’ll leave the window wide For any small mercy passing by [Chorus] I carry your name like a thread in my sleeve A quiet reminder of all i believe If distance is water, and memory shore I’ll wait where the tide leaves your footsteps once more [Outro] I’ll wait where the tide leaves your footsteps once more Softly, i’ll wait by the open door
