Текст песни
[Куплет 1] You left your coffee cooling by the kitchen door A blue suitcase leaning where it never stood before I found your little note beneath the sunday news Three crooked lines of mercy, and nothing left to lose [Куплет 2] The old ford coughed twice on county road thirteen Your red scarf caught the mirror, then vanished past the trees I drove until the water tower faded out of sight With your goodbye in my pocket and your engine in the night [Припев] If you hear me calling, don't turn away I ain't asking for forever, just another day Lay your hand beside mine, let the hard years fall I was proud, i was foolish, i was wrong about it all [Куплет 3] At miller's store they told me you were working down in town Saving for a room where the rain won't come around I bought a pack of matches, though i quit them years ago Some habits keep a man company when he has nowhere to go [Бридж] And every mile between us wears a little thinner Every honest word makes a better kind of sinner If there is a road back, baby, i will take it slow I will bring the truth this time, and leave my pride at home [Припев] If you hear me calling, don't turn away I ain't asking for forever, just another day Lay your hand beside mine, let the hard years fall I was proud, i was foolish, i was wrong about it all [Final chorus] If you hear me calling, leave the porch light on I will cross that county before the night is gone Lay your hand beside mine, let the hard years fall I was proud, i was foolish, i was wrong about it all [Аутро] By the kitchen door, where your coffee used to cool I am learning how to love you without trying to rule
