Текст песни
[Куплет 1] Your blue scarf hangs beside the door I still reach for it when the kettle calls The train leaves dust along the floor And your photograph leans against the wall [Предприпев] I count the miles by folded clothes By letters saved beneath the bed Some things leave quietly, i suppose But not the words we never said [Припев] If you remember this small room The cup with the chipped white rim I’ll keep a little space for you Though every road grows dim And when the winter crosses through I’ll say your name, then let it go A fragile thread still leads to you Wherever distant rivers flow [Куплет 2] Your book is open to page forty-three A pressed wildflower marks the line I read it like you’re next to me And lose my place each time [Предприпев] The neighbors sweep their steps at dawn The same old bell rings down the lane I learn to carry what is gone Without mistaking it for pain [Припев] If you remember this small room The cup with the chipped white rim I’ll keep a little space for you Though every road grows dim And when the winter crosses through I’ll say your name, then let it go A fragile thread still leads to you Wherever distant rivers flow [Бридж] Maybe one morning, without warning A letter will arrive Not to undo the years between us Just to say we’re still alive [Final chorus] If you remember this small room The cup with the chipped white rim I’ll keep a little space for you Though every road grows dim And when the winter crosses through I’ll say your name, then let it go A fragile thread still leads to you Wherever distant rivers flow [Аутро] Wherever distant rivers flow I’ll leave the porch light low
