Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse 1] I left the porch light burning Though I knew you wouldn’t come There’s a blue cup by the window And your letter in the sun I hear the old floor speaking Every time the evening leans Some things leave without a warning Some stay folded in between [Pre-Chorus] And I’ve been learning how to listen When the quiet calls your name [Chorus] Come on home, if your heart gets tired Come on home, when the road runs long I’ll leave a place beside me And a little light on If you can’t say what you’re feeling Just take my hand and breathe Come on home, if your heart gets tired You can rest here with me [Instrumental] [Verse 2] There’s a train beyond the cottonwood Rolling slow across the plain I remember how you waved to me With your suitcase in the rain Now the garden’s gone to seed again But the rosemary survived I keep finding small reminders That the tender things stay alive [Pre-Chorus] And I’ve been learning how to loosen Every knot I tried to save [Chorus] Come on home, if your heart gets tired Come on home, when the road runs long I’ll leave a place beside me And a little light on If you can’t say what you’re feeling Just take my hand and breathe Come on home, if your heart gets tired You can rest here with me [Bridge] You say, “Are you still waiting?” I say, “Only for the truth” You say, “What if I’m changed now?” I say, “I am too” [Chorus] Come on home, if your heart gets tired Come on home, when the road runs long I’ll leave a place beside me And a little light on If you can’t say what you’re feeling Just take my hand and breathe Come on home, if your heart gets tired You can rest here with me [Outro] Come on home... If your heart gets tired... You can rest here with me
