[Verse 1] I found your postcard in the kitchen drawer Beneath the keys we never use anymore A county line, a date from years ago And your small handwriting telling me to go [Pre-Chorus] Past the orchard, past the water tower Where we learned how quickly seasons turn [Chorus] If you take the long way home tonight Leave a little room for old roads I’ll be there where the cedar fence leans wide Watching the last field lose its gold And if the years have changed our names Some things still know where to go Take the long way home tonight I’ll meet you where the quiet grows [Verse 2] The porch still holds the blue enamel chair The one you painted while I watched you there You said the rain would soften every board Then laughed when it came pouring through the door [Pre-Chorus] Now the garden sleeps beneath the weather But the thyme comes back beside the stone [Chorus] If you take the long way home tonight Leave a little room for old roads I’ll be there where the cedar fence leans wide Watching the last field lose its gold And if the years have changed our names Some things still know where to go Take the long way home tonight I’ll meet you where the quiet grows [Bridge] No grand promise, no need to explain Just two cups cooling by the windowpane You can tell me what the distance taught I’ll tell you all the things I never lost [Instrumental] [Final Chorus] If you take the long way home tonight Leave a little room for old roads I’ll be there where the cedar fence leans wide Watching the last field lose its gold And if the years have changed our names Some things still know where to go Take the long way home tonight I’ll meet you where the quiet grows [Outro] Take the long way home tonight I’ll meet you where the quiet grows
