Текст песни
[Verse 1] You left your coat on the kitchen chair Rain on the sleeve, spring in the air A paper list by the coffee tin Three small errands, a world to begin [Pre-Chorus] You said, "Come on, we have time today" And the whole old house felt less far away [Chorus] We'll take the long road past the county line Wave to the farmer by the roadside sign If the tires hum and the morning stays clear I know there's a better kind of year You and me, with the windows wide Keeping a little room for the turning tide [Verse 2] The market bell rang at a quarter to ten You bought peaches for the neighbors again Your brother called from the hardware store Said the porch needs paint like it did before [Pre-Chorus] We carried the cans through the open gate Laughing at how we were always late [Chorus] We'll take the long road past the county line Wave to the farmer by the roadside sign If the tires hum and the morning stays clear I know there's a better kind of year You and me, with the windows wide Keeping a little room for the turning tide [Bridge] Some days bend, some days break Some good things take the time they take But your hand finds mine beside the wheel And suddenly the ordinary feels real [Chorus] We'll take the long road past the county line Wave to the farmer by the roadside sign If the tires hum and the morning stays clear I know there's a better kind of year You and me, with the windows wide Keeping a little room for the turning tide [Outro] When the porch light flickers on at dusk And the paint smells new beneath the dust We'll leave two chairs where the garden grows And count the places the bright wind goes
