Текст песни
[Verse 1] You left your coffee by the window The cup still wears your lipstick stain I found your keys beside the screen door And heard the freight roll through the rain I took the long road past the county line Where the pines lean low and bare Every mile keeps asking where you are Every answer says you’re not there [Chorus] I’m learning how to carry What I cannot make right Your name is on my silence When I turn out the light If love is just a promise That time refuses to keep I’ll hold it like a river stone Down where the hurt runs deep [Verse 2] The old Ford pulls a little to the left now Your scarf is folded on the seat I still slow down beside the diner Where you laughed at everyone we’d meet The jukebox plays the song you hated The waitress calls me by your name I pay the check and leave a dollar For all the things I couldn’t say [Chorus] I’m learning how to carry What I cannot make right Your name is on my silence When I turn out the light If love is just a promise That time refuses to keep I’ll hold it like a river stone Down where the hurt runs deep [Bridge] Maybe somewhere past the water tower You found the peace I couldn’t give Maybe I was built for leaving Maybe you were built to live But if you ever hear this old heart calling From a room you’ll never see Know I’d trade every road behind me For one more hour with you and me [Instrumental] [Final Chorus] I’m learning how to carry What I cannot make right Your name is on my silence When I turn out the light If love is just a promise That time refuses to keep I’ll hold it like a river stone Down where the hurt runs deep [Outro] Down where the hurt runs deep I’ll carry you with me
