[Verse 1] I found your note inside the kitchen drawer Beneath the map we never finished folding The paper smelled like cedar from the shore And held the weather of the years we’re holding [Pre-Chorus] I read it where the kettle used to sing A little older, but I knew everything [Chorus] If I could walk that gravel road again I’d take the long way past the leaning fence I’d tell you all the quiet things I meant Before the seasons taught us how to bend [Verse 2] The porch has lost one board beside the chair The apple tree still leans toward afternoon Your blue wool sweater isn’t hanging there But dust remembers every room we knew [Pre-Chorus] Somewhere beyond the last familiar hill The life we left is turning softly still [Chorus] If I could walk that gravel road again I’d take the long way past the leaning fence I’d tell you all the quiet things I meant Before the seasons taught us how to bend [Instrumental] [Bridge] No, I don’t need to make the past stay young Or gather every word that came undone I carry what was kind beneath my skin And let the morning teach me to begin [Final Chorus] If I could walk that gravel road again I’d take the long way past the leaning fence I’d tell you all the quiet things I meant And thank the years for where they brought me next [Outro] The kettle cools, the window fills with rain I fold the map and leave the drawer unlatched
