Текст песни
[Куплет 1] The porch still knows the shape of your chair Dust on the railing, a sunday coat there I found your old compass inside the drawer The needle points west like it did before [Предприпев] Some things we carry without knowing why A tune in the hallway, a road in the sky [Припев] Take me back where the apple trees bend Where every goodbye had a week to pretend You said, “keep your hands open, let the years pass through” I’m still learning how to do that like you [Куплет 2] The kitchen clock loses a minute each day Your blue coffee cup has a hairline of gray I hear that small whistle you used to make When morning was more than the plans we would break [Предприпев] Some things grow quieter, never quite gone A name in the garden, a porch light left on [Припев] Take me back where the apple trees bend Where every goodbye had a week to pretend You said, “keep your hands open, let the years pass through” I’m still learning how to do that like you [Бридж] If i meet you in a field beyond town I won’t ask the seasons to turn back around I’ll tell you the house has held steady and true And i’ve kept a little of summer for you [Final chorus] Take me back where the apple trees bend Where every goodbye can begin again You said, “keep your hands open, let the years pass through” I’m still learning how to do that like you Yes, i’m still learning how to do that like you [Аутро] The porch keeps the evening, the compass points west I carry your kindness wherever i rest
