Երգի խոսքեր
[Verse 1] You left your blue cup by the window A ring of tea along the rim The garden gate leans toward the meadow As if it still remembers him I found your coat behind the doorway With pine needles in the seam And every thread held one more small day From the life we used to keep [Chorus] If you come back, come back slowly Bring the quiet from the hill I have kept the kettle ready I have kept the old chair still And the road may lose its turning But my hands know where you are Like a tune beneath the floorboards Like a porch light seen from far [Verse 2] The apples fell beside the stone wall Before we had a chance to pick Your letter rests beneath the salt bowl Folded twice and dated spring I still walk down past the creek bend Where the alder branches meet There’s a place where we stopped talking Just to listen to the leaves [Chorus] If you come back, come back slowly Bring the quiet from the hill I have kept the kettle ready I have kept the old chair still And the road may lose its turning But my hands know where you are Like a tune beneath the floorboards Like a porch light seen from far [Bridge] No grand promise, no explaining No need to repair the years Just your footsteps on the gravel And the sound of being near [Final Chorus] If you come back, come back slowly Let the morning take its time I will meet you by the doorway With the blue cup washed and dry And the road may lose its turning But my hands know where you are Like a tune beneath the floorboards Like a porch light seen from far [Outro] The garden gate leans toward the meadow And the kettle starts to sing
