Текст песни
[Verse 1] You left the kettle by the window Half a cup beside the book Morning found the dust on the sill And the shape your hands had took [Pre-Chorus] I kept the blue scarf on the chair Though summer filled the room Some little things refuse to leave Some flowers keep their bloom [Chorus] Come sit with me a while Where the old boards softly bend We can name the years by candle marks And start the story again No promise needs a perfect word No map needs every mile Just bring your quiet heart back home And sit with me a while [Verse 2] The garden gate still leans to winter The pear tree holds one leaf I hear your laugh in the kitchen sink And smile before I grieve [Pre-Chorus] There’s a photograph above the stove Its corners turning gold Two younger faces looking out As if they’ve never grown old [Chorus] Come sit with me a while Where the old boards softly bend We can name the years by candle marks And start the story again No promise needs a perfect word No map needs every mile Just bring your quiet heart back home And sit with me a while [Bridge] If the road has made you weary Leave your suitcase by the door I’ll put another plate down Like we’ve done a hundred times before [Final Chorus] Come sit with me a while Let the evening take its time We can watch the orchard lose its leaves And call the falling beautiful in kind No promise needs a perfect word No map needs every mile Just bring your quiet heart back home And sit with me a while [Outro] The kettle sings, the room grows still The blue scarf waits upon the chair Your hand finds mine beneath the table And home is simply there
