Lyrics
[Verse 1] I left your letter by the kitchen door Beside the blue cup with the chipped-up rim Your sunday coat still hangs behind the chair Like you might walk back and reach for it again I drove the county road until the sun went down Past miller's barn and the creek gone dry Every mile kept asking what i knew Every answer was a reason not to try [Chorus] If i call your name, will you turn around? If i tell the truth, will it bring you home? I was too proud to say i needed you Now i'm learning how to be alone [Verse 2] There's a photograph tucked inside my book Two tired faces underneath the porch light We had no money, but we had a way Of making one good hour last all night I remember rain tapping on the tin You fell asleep with your hand in mine I thought a love like that could wait forever I didn't know forever had a line [Chorus] If i call your name, will you turn around? If i tell the truth, will it bring you home? I was too proud to say i needed you Now i'm learning how to be alone [Bridge] I don't blame the road, i don't blame the years I don't blame the hard things we couldn't change But if forgiveness has a door somewhere I'm standing in the cold, calling your name [Final chorus] If i call your name, will you turn around? If i tell the truth, will you hear me now? I was too proud to say i needed you But i need you more than pride allows [Outro] The blue cup waits beside the kitchen door And i leave the porch light on once more
