[Verse 1] You left your coffee by the window Half a ring upon the wood I kept the chair beside the doorway Longer than I should Your blue coat hangs behind the kitchen Still carries winter rain I touch the sleeve and hear you telling me Not to call your name [Pre-Chorus] I’ve learned to sleep with one eye open I’ve learned the house can lie But every road that bends toward morning Brings you back to mind [Chorus] If you come back, come back slowly Don’t promise what you cannot give I’ve got a heart that’s tired of breaking But it still remembers how to live If you come back, stand beside me Let the old hurt take its time I won’t ask you for forever Just don’t leave me here tonight [Verse 2] The screen door slams in the afternoon The dog looks down the lane A freight train rolls beyond the cotton Like a low and distant strain I found your note beneath the sugar Three words in faded blue I read them till the paper softened Like I used to do with you [Pre-Chorus] I’ve learned the cost of holding on I’ve paid it every day Still there’s a part of me that listens When the wind says your name [Chorus] If you come back, come back slowly Don’t promise what you cannot give I’ve got a heart that’s tired of breaking But it still remembers how to live If you come back, stand beside me Let the old hurt take its time I won’t ask you for forever Just don’t leave me here tonight [Bridge] Maybe we were young and frightened Maybe pride stood in the door Maybe love was never absent Maybe we just asked for more Now I can meet you without anger Now I can tell the truth There was never any morning That I didn’t look for you [Final Chorus] If you come back, come back slowly Lay your hand inside of mine I’ve got a heart that’s done with hiding And it’s still willing to try If you come back, stand beside me Let the old hurt lose its claim I won’t ask you for forever Just come back and stay [Outro] Come back and stay Come back and stay The kettle’s on, the door is open Come back and stay
