Lyrics
[Verse 1] You left your coffee by the window Half a page beside the bed I read the same two lines till sunrise Trying to hear what you never said [Verse 2] Your blue coat hangs behind the doorway Collecting dust from the road I keep the porch light burning nightly Though i know you won't come home [Chorus] If i could turn this heart around I'd meet you where the river bends Lay down the words i swallowed whole And ask you not to leave again [Verse 3] The old ford coughs below the hilltop Your photograph slips from the dash I hold it like a small confession Something tender i couldn't ask [Chorus] If i could turn this heart around I'd meet you where the river bends Lay down the words i swallowed whole And ask you not to leave again [Bridge] Maybe love is learning slowly What pride can take away Maybe every road i wander Still bends back to your name [Final chorus] If i could turn this heart around I'd meet you where the river bends Lay down the words i swallowed whole And ask you not to leave again Don't let the last light find us strangers Don't let this be where it ends [Outro] Your blue coat hangs behind the doorway And i still leave room beside the bed
