[Verse 1] I kept your blue wool sweater Folded beneath the bed It still holds traces of winter And things we never said The train leaves past the orchard At seven every night I count the empty windows Until they leave my sight [Pre-Chorus] If distance has a language I hear it in the rain A quiet door between us That neither of us names [Chorus] Come back when the river thaws Come back when you can stay I have saved the smallest promises We let slip away And though the room is colder now A little hope remains Like a candle in the window Through the long November rain [Verse 2] Your photograph is fading Beside the kitchen clock The corner has been softened By every time I look I walk the road to nowhere Past fields of sleeping grain Your name rises like smoke there Then disappears again [Pre-Chorus] I don't need grand forgiveness Or words arranged just right Only one honest morning To set the past down light [Chorus] Come back when the river thaws Come back when you can stay I have saved the smallest promises We let slip away And though the room is colder now A little hope remains Like a candle in the window Through the long November rain [Bridge] If you find this letter Don't answer out of fear Some doors are made for opening When the heart is finally clear [Chorus] Come back when the river thaws Come back when you can stay I have saved the smallest promises We let slip away And though the room is colder now A little hope remains Like a candle in the window Through the long November rain [Outro] The sweater waits beneath the bed The clock keeps losing time If you return before the spring You'll still be welcome here
