[Verse 1] You left the porch light on for me Though winter had begun A chipped blue mug beside the sink And two coats by the door I found your note beneath the keys In handwriting I know “Take the long way past the fields The creek is running slow” [Chorus] So I’ll walk where the tall grass bends With your old scarf around my neck Every mile has something kind A little proof we’re doing fine If the road feels wide and strange I’ll carry home in small, warm things Your voice, the cup, the open door And all I’m still walking toward [Verse 2] The county store was closing up The baker swept the floor He gave me back a paper bag With one sweet roll inside A harmonica from the radio Was drifting through the hall And for a moment, every year Came quietly at once [Chorus] So I’ll walk where the tall grass bends With your old scarf around my neck Every mile has something kind A little proof we’re doing fine If the road feels wide and strange I’ll carry home in small, warm things Your voice, the cup, the open door And all I’m still walking toward [Bridge] When the evening settles softly And the first birds disappear I’ll remember what you told me: “Stay awhile; the good is here.” [Final Chorus] I’ll walk where the tall grass bends With your old scarf around my neck Every mile has something kind A little proof we’re doing fine If tomorrow changes shape I’ll meet it gently, wide awake Your voice, the cup, the open door And all I’m still walking toward [Outro] The porch light waits beside the lane The creek keeps running slow I take the long way home again With somewhere warm to go
