Երգի խոսքեր
[Verse 1] I found your letter underneath the old floorboard Folded three times, still smelling like the rain Your careful handwriting crossed out the hard words But every empty space was saying my name [Verse 2] The porch swing creaks where you used to wait for me A coffee cup is cracked beside the chair I drove past the mill with the windows down low And heard your voice in the warm September air [Chorus] If you come back, come back honest Leave the reasons at the door I have carried what we promised I can't carry it no more If you come back, come back slowly Let the truth be all we say I would rather hurt beside you Than keep losing you this way [Verse 3] The river keeps turning below the railroad Dragging red leaves through the shallows in the bend I learned a man can live with being lonely But not with wondering how it might have ended [Chorus] If you come back, come back honest Leave the reasons at the door I have carried what we promised I can't carry it no more If you come back, come back slowly Let the truth be all we say I would rather hurt beside you Than keep losing you this way [Bridge] I was proud, you were frightened We were young enough to run Now the years have worn the edges But they haven't changed the one Who still keeps your picture face-down In the drawer beside the bed Who still talks to you at midnight When the house has gone to quiet instead [Chorus] If you come back, come back honest Leave the reasons at the door I have carried what we promised I can't carry it no more If you come back, come back slowly Let the truth be all we say I would rather hurt beside you Than keep losing you this way [Outro] Come back honest Come back slowly There is still a little room For the truth between us two
