Текст песни
[Verse 1] Your blue coat hangs beside the door Though you have crossed the border line I fold the sleeves the way you wore And lose an hour to that small sign The kettle cools beside the sink Your cup still bears a trace of tea I hear the words we didn't speak Return like birds that won't land near me [Chorus] If distance has a quiet name I say it softly when I wake I keep one letter in the frame For all the promises we couldn't make [Verse 2] The train pulls silver through the rain Past fields we knew in late September I count the bridges, miss your name Then write it down so I remember A photograph beneath the glass Shows summer dust upon your sleeve Some things are gone and still they last Some doors stay open when we leave [Chorus] If distance has a quiet name I say it softly when I wake I keep one letter in the frame For all the promises we couldn't make [Bridge] Perhaps the road will turn one day Perhaps the years will loosen stone Until then, I will learn to stay With what is lost and what I own [Chorus] If distance has a quiet name I say it softly when I wake I keep one letter in the frame For all the promises we couldn't make [Outro] Your blue coat hangs beside the door And morning finds me breathing still
