Lyrics
[Verse 1] You left your coffee by the kitchen sink A half-read letter underneath the Sunday ink I kept the porch light burning through the rain Like one small promise could bring you back again [Verse 2] Your blue coat hangs behind the bedroom door I reach for it, then remember what it's for The old Ford coughs beneath the sycamore But I don't turn the key like I did before [Chorus] If you hear me, turn around There's still a little mercy in this town I was proud, I was wrong, I held on too long Now your name is the only prayer I know [Verse 3] The mill whistle calls at half past five Men trade their sleep for another day alive I carry your picture folded in my hand Two young hearts and a house we couldn't stand [Chorus] If you hear me, turn around There's still a little mercy in this town I was proud, I was wrong, I held on too long Now your name is the only prayer I know [Bridge] Maybe love ain't a clean white road Maybe it bends beneath the weight we hold If forgiveness has a door tonight I'll leave it open, leave the porch light bright [Instrumental] [Final Chorus] If you hear me, turn around There's still a little mercy in this town I was proud, I was wrong, I held on too long But your name is the only prayer I know [Outro] Your blue coat hangs behind the door I won't be proud of losing you anymore
