Lyrics
[Verse 1] You left your blue coat on the kitchen chair One loose button and a strand of your hair The kettle cooled beside the window pane I still turn when I hear that old floor complain [Verse 2] Your letter's folded in the Bible at home Page forty-three where the wildflowers grow I read the last line till the ink runs thin Some doors close softly, some never let you in [Chorus] I won't call your name down the county line I won't chase your shadow through the pines But if that train rolls back before the dawn I'll be standing where you left me, holding on [Verse 3] The preacher said time makes a body wise But time just taught me the shape of your goodbye Now every Sunday when the church bells ring I feel that empty chair like a living thing [Bridge] Maybe love ain't meant to be a chain Maybe leaving doesn't mean it dies in vain I carried your memory through every town And tonight I lay the heavy suitcase down [Chorus] I won't call your name down the county line I won't chase your shadow through the pines But if that train rolls back before the dawn I'll be standing where you left me, holding on [Instrumental] [Final Chorus] I won't call your name down the county line I won't chase your shadow through the pines If that train rolls back before the dawn I'll be standing where you left me, holding on Yes, I'll be standing where you left me, holding on [Outro] The blue coat waits on the kitchen chair Morning finds me, but you're not there
