Lyrics
[Verse 1] You left your coat on the kitchen chair Rain in the cuffs, your scent still there I found your note by the telephone Three crooked lines saying you had to go [Verse 2] The old screen door keeps losing its spring It opens at dusk like it knows everything I pour two glasses, then pour one back And watch the red dust settle on the track [Chorus] If you’re coming home, don’t wait for the morning This heart’s been tired of carrying the warning I’ve got one more song and a little bit of faith Come through that doorway before it’s too late [Verse 3] Your brother called from the county line Said you were working late, said you were doing fine But fine is a word people use when they’re scared And I heard the silence hanging in the air [Chorus] If you’re coming home, don’t wait for the morning This heart’s been tired of carrying the warning I’ve got one more song and a little bit of faith Come through that doorway before it’s too late [Bridge] I won’t ask where you’ve been I won’t count what you owe Just put your hand in mine And let the hard years go [Final Chorus] If you’re coming home, don’t wait for the morning This heart’s been tired of carrying the warning I’ve got one more song and a little bit of faith Come through that doorway before it’s too late [Outro] Come through that doorway Come through that doorway I’ll leave the porch light burning Till the first bird calls my name
