Lyrics
[Verse 1] You left your blue cup by the kitchen sink A folded map beneath the garden string The porch board sings beneath my heel Small reminders make the morning real [Pre-Chorus] I take the long way past the county fair With your old red scarf tucked in my chair [Chorus] Come on, meet me where the tall grass bends Where the road runs out and the day begins Bring that crooked smile, bring your worn-out shoes I’ve got a little time to spend with you [Verse 2] The baker knows us by the Saturday hour We trade two coins for a paper sack of flowers Your laugh spills over the market lane Then follows me home on the windowpane [Pre-Chorus] We’ll watch the clouds rearrange the blue And make a small world out of me and you [Chorus] Come on, meet me where the tall grass bends Where the road runs out and the day begins Bring that crooked smile, bring your worn-out shoes I’ve got a little time to spend with you [Bridge] If the seasons turn and the paint peels thin I’ll find your hand and start again No grand parade, no silver moon Just your shoulder leaning into mine by noon [Chorus] Come on, meet me where the tall grass bends Where the road runs out and the day begins Bring that crooked smile, bring your worn-out shoes I’ve got a little time to spend with you [Outro] The blue cup waits by the kitchen sink The day grows quiet before we think And down the lane, with the evening new I’m still making room for you
