Текст песни
[Verse 1] I found your blue scarf in the cedar drawer Still holding the shape of your shoulder The train leaves at seven from platform four I count every mile getting colder [Pre-Chorus] Your letter is folded beneath my hand The ink has gone pale at the edges I never learned how to loosen my grip On promises made in the kitchen [Chorus] If you remember the sound of my name Say it once into the window I’ll carry the warmth of that ordinary day Through every place I don’t know And if distance is all we can give I’ll keep one small door open For the fragile part of us still alive For the words we left unspoken [Verse 2] The cup with the crack is beside the sink I wash it, then put it away Your photograph leans by the books we didn’t finish Turning silver in the afternoon gray [Pre-Chorus] Some nights I wake before the dawn With your footsteps caught in the hallway Then the house settles back into its bones And I learn how to breathe the old way [Chorus] If you remember the sound of my name Say it once into the window I’ll carry the warmth of that ordinary day Through every place I don’t know And if distance is all we can give I’ll keep one small door open For the fragile part of us still alive For the words we left unspoken [Bridge] Let the long road take what it must Let the winter pass through the garden I won’t ask the past to return as it was Only leave me a reason to pardon [Breakdown] I’m still here The kettle is singing I’m still here The morning is beginning [Chorus] If you remember the sound of my name Say it once into the window I’ll carry the warmth of that ordinary day Through every place I don’t know And if distance is all we can give I’ll keep one small door open For the fragile part of us still alive For the words we left unspoken [Outro] The blue scarf rests in the cedar drawer The room grows quiet, then golden I close the door, but I don’t lock it now For the life that may yet find us open
