Текст песни
[Verse 1] I kept your note in the sugar tin By the blue cup chipped at the rim Rain tapped slow on the window pane Like it knew your name Your scarf still hangs by the back door hook Soft as the words I never took I trace the thread with my tired hand Still trying to understand [Pre-Chorus] If I call your name Will it come back If I hold this ache Will it let me rest at last [Chorus] Come back to me Like summer in the screen door Come back to me Like a song I knew before I still reach, I still reach For the place you used to be Come back to me Come back to me [Verse 2] The kettle hums in the quiet room A little bright line through the gloom I set two cups down on the table Old habit, still able And every photograph I hide Still turns to light when I pass by You left a warmth in the empty chair Like you were almost there [Pre-Chorus] If I call your name Will it come back If I hold this ache Will it let me rest at last [Chorus] Come back to me Like summer in the screen door Come back to me Like a song I knew before I still reach, I still reach For the place you used to be Come back to me Come back to me [Bridge] Maybe time is just a river And I am learning how to drift Maybe love is in the leaving And the hands we cannot lift So I breathe through the ache Let it move, let it stay Till the dawn comes soft And carries some of it away [Chorus] Come back to me Like summer in the screen door Come back to me Like a song I knew before I still reach, I still reach For the place you used to be Come back to me Come back to me [Outro] I leave the porchlight on I leave the porchlight on For the love that lingers on For the love that lingers on
