Текст песни
[Куплет 1] I found your letter underneath the kitchen plate Four short lines and a coffee stain You said the porch still faces west And every evening wears the same red dress [Предприпев] I almost called from the county line But some roads close when you wait too long [Припев] If i come home, will you open the door? Will you know the man i was before? I’ve carried your name through every town Like a match i never struck or put down If i come home, don’t ask me why Just leave one chair beneath the porch light [Куплет 2] The old ford shakes past the mill at five Same cracked bell, same stubborn pines Your father’s fence leans into the field And the august dust still refuses to yield [Предприпев] I made a life out of moving on But it never learned to move without you [Припев] If i come home, will you open the door? Will you know the man i was before? I’ve carried your name through every town Like a match i never struck or put down If i come home, don’t ask me why Just leave one chair beneath the porch light [Бридж] I don’t need forgiveness dressed in gold I need your hand if the night turns cold Let the years sit quiet between us awhile I’ll trade every mile for the truth in your smile [Climax] If i come home, i’ll stand in the rain I’ll say your name and say it plain No more running, no borrowed time No more leaving your heart behind If i come home, let the silence break Let the first word be the one we make [Аутро] There’s one chair beneath the porch light And i’m turning down your road tonight
