[Verse 1] You left the window cracked in spring For the sparrows in the eaves A blue cup by the kitchen sink And flour on your sleeves I found your note beneath the jar Where we kept the garden twine It said, “The basil needs more sun” And, “Don’t forget to write” [Chorus] So I write to you from the little house Where the floorboards know my feet There’s a song the kettle hums at dusk And roses by the gate If the years have carried us apart They haven’t changed this view Every quiet thing I keep Still leads me back to you [Verse 2] The wool coat hangs behind the door Though winter’s long since gone Its pocket holds a wooden match And half a paper song Down by the creek, the willow bends Across the water’s green I hear the same old skipping stones You taught my hands to throw clean [Chorus] So I write to you from the little house Where the floorboards know my feet There’s a song the kettle hums at dusk And roses by the gate If the years have carried us apart They haven’t changed this view Every quiet thing I keep Still leads me back to you [Bridge] Maybe home is not a place But a kindness left behind A handprint on the garden wall A lantern in the mind And when the evening settles low I don’t feel quite alone The room grows soft around the words I never got to say [Final Chorus] So I write to you from the little house Where the floorboards know my feet There’s a song the kettle hums at dusk And roses by the gate If the years have carried us apart They haven’t changed this view Every quiet thing I keep Still leads me back to you [Outro] The window stays a little wide For sparrows in the eaves And I leave the blue cup by the sink For all the spring to see
