Lyrics
[Verse 1] You left your coffee cooling by the kitchen phone Took the Sunday paper, left me here alone I found your red scarf hanging on the chair Now every little corner says you used to be there [Chorus] Come on back, baby, bring that key This old house keeps talking back to me Come on back, don't make me wait You know a lonely heart don't handle late [Verse 2] The landlord knocked twice, I told him I'm alright But the hallway clock kept arguing all night Your train pulled out before the morning rain I still hear that whistle running through my windowpane [Chorus] Come on back, baby, bring that key This old house keeps talking back to me Come on back, don't make me wait You know a lonely heart don't handle late [Bridge] I ain't asking for a miracle Just your footsteps on the floor Set your suitcase by the doorway And don't disappear no more [Verse 3] I polished up the table, put two plates down Bought a little peach pie from the corner downtown If you walk in smiling, I'll forgive the past But if you keep me waiting, this good thing won't last [Chorus] Come on back, baby, bring that key This old house keeps talking back to me Come on back, don't make me wait You know a lonely heart don't handle late [Outro] Bring that key, baby, bring that key Leave a little room at the table for me
