[Куплет 1] You left your blue wool scarf On the kitchen chair I found it in the morning With your winter scent still there The kettle clicked its quiet song The garden held its rain I folded up the afternoon And wished you back again [Алдынғы қайырма] If the old road bends toward home I’ll leave the porch light low [Қайырма] Come back by the apple tree Where we counted every spring Bring the laugh you tried to hide And the promise on your ring I’ll keep one cup beside my own I’ll keep the window wide For all the little years we lost To find their way inside [Куплет 2] The record skips at seventeen A note we used to know Your handwriting on the paper sleeve Still leans a little slow A train moves past the meadow fence Then settles into blue I hear the world grow soft enough To make a place for you [Алдынғы қайырма] If the old road bends toward home I’ll be where the wildflowers grow [Қайырма] Come back by the apple tree Where we counted every spring Bring the laugh you tried to hide And the promise on your ring I’ll keep one cup beside my own I’ll keep the window wide For all the little years we lost To find their way inside [Көпір] And if your hands are tired From carrying what you can’t explain Lay it down beside the door Let the dust become the rain No grand words, no perfect start Just your footsteps on the floor That would be enough for me That would be enough and more [Final chorus] Come back by the apple tree Where the branches touch the sky Bring the quiet after storms And the truth behind your eyes I’ll keep one cup beside my own I’ll keep the window wide For all the little years we lost To find their way inside [Аутро] The kettle clicks, the evening turns The garden holds its rain I fold away the empty chair And leave the porch light plain
