Lyrics
[Verse 1] You left your coffee by the kitchen sink A half-read letter underneath The porch board groans where you used to stand With summer dust still on your hands [Verse 2] I drove past Miller’s field at dusk The old grain silo turning rust Your blue coat hung inside the hall I reached for it, then heard it fall [Chorus] I still leave the porch light on Though I know you won’t come home Some things fade, some things remain Like your name beneath the rain I carry what we couldn’t save Through every mile and every day [Verse 3] The radio found a song we knew A tired voice singing something true I pulled beside the county line And let the silence take its time [Bridge] If I could meet you down that road I’d set down every word I owed No grand goodbye, no asking why Just one more look before goodbye [Chorus] I still leave the porch light on Though I know you won’t come home Some things fade, some things remain Like your name beneath the rain I carry what we couldn’t save Through every mile and every day [Instrumental] [Final Chorus] I still leave the porch light on Though I know you won’t come home Let it burn against the rain Let it call you back again I carry what we couldn’t save But I won’t let it fade away No, I won’t let it fade away [Outro] The morning finds the kitchen bare Your coffee cup is waiting there
