Текст песни
[Verse 1] You left your coffee by the kitchen sink A pale blue cup with a crack along the rim I held it there and tried to think Of where the road had turned against us again [Verse 2] The old screen door still complains in the wind Your Sunday dress is folded in the hall I tell myself this room will mend But every quiet corner knows it all [Chorus] If I could take back one hard word One slammed door, one mile of pride I’d trade the years I thought I’d earned To have you standing by my side [Verse 3] There’s a gas receipt tucked beneath the phone From the night you drove away in July I read the numbers like a stone And let the afternoon go drifting by [Chorus] If I could take back one hard word One slammed door, one mile of pride I’d trade the years I thought I’d earned To have you standing by my side [Bridge] I’m not asking you to forget I’m not claiming I was right Just leave a little room for regret And let me meet you in the morning light [Final Chorus] If I could take back one hard word One slammed door, one mile of pride I’d trade the years I thought I’d earned To have you standing by my side And if your heart can cross that distance I’ll be waiting, doors open wide [Outro] That blue cup’s still on the counter And I still leave the porch light on
