Lyrics
[Verse 1] You left your coffee by the window Cold as the first hard frost I read the note beside the saucer Counted every promise lost The porch boards kept your footsteps Long after the door swung wide I held that little paper Like it could turn the tide [Chorus] If you hear me from that far-off road Know I’m still here with the porch light low I won’t curse the miles or the things you chose But I miss you more than this old house knows [Verse 2] Your blue coat hangs in the hallway Gathering dust along the seam The radio fades through the kitchen Playing half of our favorite dream I drove past Miller’s crossing Where we stopped in the summer heat Now the river keeps on rolling With no mercy underneath [Chorus] If you hear me from that far-off road Know I’m still here with the porch light low I won’t curse the miles or the things you chose But I miss you more than this old house knows [Bridge] Maybe time is a quiet teacher Maybe hearts learn how to bend I would trade this whole wide county For one night with you again [Final Chorus] If you hear me from that far-off road Know I’m still here with the porch light low I won’t curse the miles or the things you chose But I miss you more than this old house knows Yes, I miss you more than this old house knows [Outro] The coffee cup is still by the window And the dawn comes slow
