Lyrics
[Verse 1] You left your coffee cooling by the window Your blue coat hanging on the kitchen chair I found your note beneath the Sunday paper Four words that said you wouldn't meet me there [Verse 2] The old Ford coughed twice out by the mailbox Then settled quiet underneath the pines I drove as far as Miller's County border With your last photograph beside the dial [Chorus] If the road brings you back, leave the porch light burning If your heart turns around, I'll be waiting still I got a pocket full of things worth telling And a little more time than I thought I would [Verse 3] Your brother said you took the train by morning Carrying one suitcase and my worn-out shirt I tried to blame the weather and the distance But truth has never been that kind or soft [Chorus] If the road brings you back, leave the porch light burning If your heart turns around, I'll be waiting still I got a pocket full of things worth telling And a little more time than I thought I would [Bridge] I don't need a promise carved in stone I don't need to know where you've been Just put your hand against this window And let me see your face again [Instrumental] [Final Chorus] If the road brings you back, leave the porch light burning If your heart turns around, I'll be waiting still I got a pocket full of things worth telling And a little more time than I thought I would [Outro] A little more time than I thought I would The porch light's burning, darling Come on home
