Lyrics
[Verse 1] You left your blue scarf on the kitchen chair A little thread of winter resting there I folded up the morning, poured the tea And saved the quiet place you used to be [Pre-Chorus] If I follow where the soft notes rise Will they lead me past the old goodbyes? Every door I feared to open wide Turns a little on the other side [Chorus] Come back slowly, come back kind Leave the broken weather far behind I will meet you where the day turns gold With both hands open, nothing left to hold Come back slowly, if you can Let tomorrow find us where we stand [Verse 2] The garden gate still leans toward the lane The rosemary has learned to love the rain I hear your laugh inside the things we keep In wooden floors and photographs asleep [Pre-Chorus] And the years that pulled us out of tune Make a gentler answer in the room What was lost is not the whole of it There is still a light beneath the split [Chorus] Come back slowly, come back kind Leave the broken weather far behind I will meet you where the day turns gold With both hands open, nothing left to hold Come back slowly, if you can Let tomorrow find us where we stand [Bridge] Just your name and my old guitar Two small truths beneath the evening star No grand promise, no perfected plan Only this: I still know who I am [Final Chorus] Come back slowly, come back kind Leave the broken weather far behind I will meet you where the day turns gold With both hands open, nothing left to hold Come back slowly, take my hand Let tomorrow find us where we stand [Outro] The blue scarf waits beside the tea And morning makes a little room for me
