Lyrics
[Verse 1] You walked in with a suitcase full of maybe Left your key beside the telephone I read the note you wrote in crooked blue ink Said you needed time, but took my home I found your photograph behind the curtains Corner bent from every time I looked Funny how a heart can keep on waiting For a page that never should have shook [Chorus] I’m still standing by the old front door Calling your name like I did before If you’re coming back, don’t wait too long This lonely room keeps humming your song [Verse 2] Your sister said you took the westbound highway With a coat too thin for mountain air I drove until the county signs got smaller Then turned around and found you everywhere There’s a blue scarf hanging on the banister There’s your handwriting underneath the phone Every little trace becomes a question Every answer says I’m here alone [Chorus] I’m still standing by the old front door Calling your name like I did before If you’re coming back, don’t wait too long This lonely room keeps humming your song [Bridge] Maybe love is not a clean departure Maybe it leaves dust across the floor Maybe pride is just a locked-up window And forgiveness is the open door [Guitar Solo] [Final Chorus] I’m still standing by the old front door But I won’t be waiting like before If you come back, come back honest and strong If you don’t, I’ll still move on [Outro] The morning finds me turning the key Making a little room for me
