A Candle in the Window

[Куплет 1] I kept your note In a blue tin tray Next to the cup That you left that day The paper curled By the window frame I still read it slow Like it knows your name [Алдынғы қайырма] And the room goes still When i touch that line Like a hand held back At the edge of time [Duduk] [Қайырма] Come back through the door Come back soft and slow I still leave a place Where your footsteps go Come back through the door Even just for a while (I still leave a place) (Where your footsteps go) [Куплет 2] Your scarf on the hook Still holds your trace Rain on the pane Draws your outline there The kettle cools The bread goes hard I set two bowls out Then i change my mind [Алдынғы қайырма] And the night leans in With its velvet weight I keep hearing you In the hall too late [Duduk] [Қайырма] Come back through the door Come back soft and slow I still leave a place Where your footsteps go Come back through the door Even just for a while (I still leave a place) (Where your footsteps go) [Көпір] If memory burns Let it burn low I don’t need bright I just need close One small light On the far side of fear If you’re only a breath Let me keep you here [Қайырма] Come back through the door Come back soft and slow I still leave a place Where your footsteps go Come back through the door Even just for a while (I still leave a place) (Where your footsteps go) [Аутро] Paper cups At dawn Soft gray air You’re gone Come back through the door Come back soft and slow
