Երգի խոսքեր
[Verse 1] I found your note in a blue tin box Under old scarves and moth-bitten socks Your name still glows in the folded crease Like summer tucked in a pocket of fleece The house still leans where the rain first fell Same chipped white plate and the brass doorbell I stood in the hall with the dust and ache And the floorboards sighed for your footsteps’ sake [Pre-Chorus] And I let the quiet Hold my hands Like it knew What I couldn’t stand [Chorus] Take me back, take me back To the soft-eyed days we had Take me back, take me back Even if it turns me sad I still hear your laugh In the kitchen glass Take me back, take me back To the soft-eyed days we had [Verse 2] Your coat still hangs by the window pane Sleeves full of wind and a trace of rain I touch the cuff and I half-believe You’ll come in warm with your keys and sleeves The garden gate has a crooked wire Wild mint climbing through the old barbed wire I watched one sparrow shake off the dew And it looked like a day I lived with you [Pre-Chorus] So I stand here slowly At the line Where the now Meets the afterglow of time [Chorus] Take me back, take me back To the soft-eyed days we had Take me back, take me back Even if it turns me sad I still hear your laugh In the kitchen glass Take me back, take me back To the soft-eyed days we had [Bridge] If memory is a river Then I’ve been knee-deep all along Carrying your small bright face Like a tune I know by heart and by song Let it bend, let it break Let the years do what they must I will keep this tender ache Folded safe in quiet dust [Final Chorus] Take me back, take me back To the soft-eyed days we had Take me back, take me back Even if it turns me sad I still hear your laugh In the kitchen glass Take me back, take me back To the soft-eyed days we had [Outro] And if I close my eyes You are there In the hush In the air
