Lyrics
[Verse 1] I left your letter by the kitchen door Beside the keys I don't use anymore The coffee cooled in a chipped white cup I watched the morning gather itself up [Verse 2] Your blue coat still hangs behind the chair I reach for it, then remember you're not there The old floorboard gives beneath my heel Some things leave before you know they're real [Chorus] If you hear me, turn around I’m still standing on this ground I won’t call your name tonight But I miss you when the house goes quiet [Verse 3] The county road runs past the cotton field Past the place where we swore we'd never yield I drove it slow with both hands on the wheel Trying to learn what leaving makes you feel [Chorus] If you hear me, turn around I’m still standing on this ground I won’t call your name tonight But I miss you when the house goes quiet [Bridge] I was proud, and you were tired Two small flames we never fired Now the distance has a sound Like a train beneath the ground [Final Chorus] If you hear me, turn around I’m still standing on this ground I will say your name tonight Let it break me in the quiet If you hear me, turn around Before the last light leaves this town I was wrong and you were right Come back home, or say goodbye [Outro] The coffee cooled in a chipped white cup I watched the morning gather itself up
