Երգի խոսքեր
[Verse 1] I found your letter underneath the old floorboard Folded in blue, with the corners worn You wrote, “Come home when the hard rain passes” But I was already gone by the time you mourned [Verse 2] The church bell counted every mile behind me A borrowed coat and a pocket full of change I kept your photograph beside the dashboard Like one small promise I could not explain [Chorus] If you still leave the porch light burning I’ll turn this car around tonight I’ve carried your name through every county And I’m tired of pretending I’m all right [Verse 3] Your brother said you moved near the river Bought a little house where the cotton grows I pictured you washing dust from the windows Wondering if I’d ever learn to come back home [Chorus] If you still leave the porch light burning I’ll turn this car around tonight I’ve carried your name through every county And I’m tired of pretending I’m all right [Bridge] I don’t need a clean slate, I don’t need forgiveness Just a chair by the kitchen door Let the years fall quiet between us I won’t run anymore [Instrumental] [Final Chorus] If you still leave the porch light burning I’ll turn this car around tonight I’ve carried your name through every county And I’m tired of pretending I’m all right If you still leave the porch light burning You might see my headlights cross the pines I’ll bring back every word I owe you If you can spare me one more try [Outro] One more try I won’t run anymore
