Waiting for the Dawn

[Куплет 1] Your blue cup waits beside the sink Dust gathers where your coat once hung I still leave room beside the door For footsteps that will not come [Предприпев] The train has carried you away Past fields i cannot name I fold the map beneath my hand And miss you all the same [Припев] If distance has a sound, it is this room A quiet chair, a fading tune I hold your letter to the light And find a little hope inside [Куплет 2] Your photograph is losing color At the edges of the frame But i remember how you laughed Before you said my name [Предприпев] The winter pressed against the glass The kettle softly sighed I learned that love can stay awake With no one by its side [Припев] If distance has a sound, it is this room A quiet chair, a fading tune I hold your letter to the light And find a little hope inside [Бридж] Maybe spring will turn the garden Maybe roads will meet again I will keep the porch light gentle Not a promise, just a friend [Припев] If distance has a sound, it is this room A quiet chair, a fading tune I hold your letter to the light And find a little hope inside [Аутро] Your blue cup waits beside the sink And morning enters soft and wide I say your name into the room Then let the silence answer mine
