Երգի խոսքեր
[Verse 1] You left your coffee by the window A ring still stains the wooden sill I found your letters in the toolbox Read every word against my will The old Ford waits beneath the carport Dust settling soft along the hood I turn the key and hear the silence Like a promise no one could [Chorus] I’m learning how to carry What I never got to say Some roads don’t lead you backward They just teach you how to stay And if the years come asking Why I held on so long I’ll say your name in a low voice Then keep moving when it’s gone [Verse 2] Your blue coat hangs behind the doorway The pocket holds a rusted key I keep it there though nothing opens Anything that used to be The county line is twenty minutes Past the church and Miller’s farm I drive it when the evening settles Just to feel the shape of calm [Chorus] I’m learning how to carry What I never got to say Some roads don’t lead you backward They just teach you how to stay And if the years come asking Why I held on so long I’ll say your name in a low voice Then keep moving when it’s gone [Bridge] There’s a field behind the water tower Where the grass bends silver in the cold I stood there once with both hands shaking And let the hardest story go [Instrumental] [Final Chorus] I’m learning how to carry What I never got to say Some roads don’t lead you backward They just teach you how to stay And if the years come asking Why I held on so long I’ll say your name in a low voice Then keep moving when it’s gone [Outro] The coffee ring is fading The key is in the drawer I still miss you in the morning But I don’t wait by the door
