Lyrics
[Verse 1] The screen door sighs at dusk I set my keys down slow Your name still hangs in the rafters Like a storm I used to know The porch light bruises amber On a jar full of July I keep my hands in my pockets So you won’t see me crack and cry [Pre-Chorus] I been quiet too long I been holding my breath Every mile back to you Cuts a little deeper yet [Chorus] Come back, riverbed prayer Wash this hurt away Come back, riverbed prayer Make the hard things stay Come back, riverbed prayer Hear me when I call Come back, riverbed prayer Or let me fall [Verse 2] Your coat still on the hook there By the door to the room Dust on the picket fence rails And a crack in the moon I tried to make it easy Tried to laugh off the rain But every road kept leading Right back through your name [Pre-Chorus] I been quiet too long I been holding my breath Every mile back to you Cuts a little deeper yet [Chorus] Come back, riverbed prayer Wash this hurt away Come back, riverbed prayer Make the hard things stay Come back, riverbed prayer Hear me when I call Come back, riverbed prayer Or let me fall [Bridge] If I sound like breaking Then I’m almost through I’ve been a hard man to myself But I was softer loving you So send that old river rolling Through these bones, through this fear If mercy has a body Let it find me here [Chorus] Come back, riverbed prayer Wash this hurt away Come back, riverbed prayer Make the hard things stay Come back, riverbed prayer Hear me when I call Come back, riverbed prayer Or let me fall [Outro] Come back, riverbed prayer Come back, riverbed prayer I’m still standing here
