Текст песни
[Verse 1] Your blue scarf hangs beside the door Though you left it here last spring I fold the corners like before And hear the kettle sing The train goes past the apartment wall At quarter after two I count the windows, one by one As if they lead to you [Pre-Chorus] I keep your letter in the drawer Beneath the winter clothes Some things are easier to hold When nobody knows [Chorus] If distance has a voice tonight It sounds like your old name A little dimmer than the rain A little warmer than the flame I’m learning how to miss you Without turning back the years There’s still a thread between us Thin as a breath, but here [Verse 2] The market closes early now The woman knows my face She leaves two pears beside the till Then takes one back in place I walk the long way home again Past the bakery’s warm air For one brief second, turning round I almost find you there [Pre-Chorus] The calendar has lost its shape The days run into blue But every quiet room I cross Still makes a space for you [Chorus] If distance has a voice tonight It sounds like your old name A little dimmer than the rain A little warmer than the flame I’m learning how to miss you Without turning back the years There’s still a thread between us Thin as a breath, but here [Bridge] Maybe the road will bend someday Maybe the snow will clear I won’t make promises to heaven I’ll simply leave the light on here [Final Chorus] If distance has a voice tonight I’ll listen without fear The room is still, the morning waits And somehow you are near I’m learning how to miss you And still let tomorrow start There’s still a thread between us And hope is where we are [Outro] The blue scarf hangs beside the door The kettle cools to silence I leave the light on just a while For one small kind of guidance
