[Verse 1] You left your coffee by the kitchen chair A paperback open, dust upon the page I keep that little room just as it was Though every quiet corner knows your name [Verse 2] The freight train calls beyond the county line Its low note rolls across the soybean fields I take the long way past the water tower Still hoping time will teach my hands to heal [Chorus] If you hear me, come home slowly There’s no need to explain I’ve been carrying your picture Through the cold and summer rain If you hear me, come home slowly Leave the porch light burning bright I’ll be here with both hands open Waiting through another night [Verse 3] Your blue coat hangs behind the pantry door One loose button resting in the sink I found the note you wrote beneath the sugar Three words that made me stop and think [Chorus] If you hear me, come home slowly There’s no need to explain I’ve been carrying your picture Through the cold and summer rain If you hear me, come home slowly Leave the porch light burning bright I’ll be here with both hands open Waiting through another night [Bridge] Maybe mercy wears a tired face Maybe pride is just a wall we made I would trade these miles of empty highway For one honest word you couldn’t say [Instrumental] [Final Chorus] If you hear me, come home slowly There’s no need to explain I’ve been carrying your picture Through the cold and summer rain If you hear me, come home slowly Leave the porch light burning bright I’ll be here with both hands open Waiting through another night [Outro] The coffee’s cold, the morning’s breaking Your blue coat still hangs there waiting
