Текст песни
[Куплет 1] You leave your teacup by the window A crescent stain on porcelain white I fold the letter by the lamp glow And read the same line every night The old clock pauses between numbers The hallway keeps your careful air I tell myself that late december Will teach my hands to leave it there [Предприпев] But every quiet room grows wider When i remember how you stayed The smallest note becomes a river The smallest promise starts to fade [Припев] If you come back, come softly No grand apology Just place your coat beside me And let the silence breathe If you come back, come slowly I’ll meet you where we are With one hand on the table And one hand near your heart [Куплет 2] The garden gate is missing paint now The rosemary has climbed the wall I hear the rain begin to settle In little footsteps down the hall Your photograph leans toward the ceiling The frame is warm beneath my thumb Some loves are not a door departing They are the place we’re coming from [Предприпев] And every quiet room grows wider Yet something kind remains in view A thread of gold along the curtain A road that still runs back to you [Припев] If you come back, come softly No grand apology Just place your coat beside me And let the silence breathe If you come back, come slowly I’ll meet you where we are With one hand on the table And one hand near your heart [Бридж] Stay for the kettle’s gentle singing Stay till the first cup cools We don’t have to name the ending We only have to choose [Final chorus] If you come back, come softly No grand apology Just place your coat beside me And let the silence breathe If you come back, come slowly I’ll meet you where we are With both hands on the table And nothing held apart [Аутро] The cup is waiting by the window The room is learning how to start
