Текст песни
[Verse 1] You left the kettle by the window Where the morning finds the glass I found your blue wool cardigan Still folded in the hall The garden leaned against the fence With apples on the ground And every little ordinary thing Kept your kindness hanging round [Chorus] Come sit beside me for a while No need to say a word Your hand can rest inside my hand Like the safest place on earth If the years have made us weathered If the road has made us slow I will know you by the way you smile And I will walk you home [Verse 2] The old tin cup beside the sink Has faded at the rim A paper list of groceries Still carries your small script We used to count the passing trains And guess where they would go Now I count the quiet ways You taught my heart to know [Chorus] Come sit beside me for a while No need to say a word Your hand can rest inside my hand Like the safest place on earth If the years have made us weathered If the road has made us slow I will know you by the way you smile And I will walk you home [Bridge] When winter presses on the door And evening comes too soon I’ll light the lamp above the stairs And leave a chair for you Some loves are not a burning flame Or thunder in the sky They’re bread wrapped up in linen cloth And staying close by night [Chorus] Come sit beside me for a while No need to say a word Your hand can rest inside my hand Like the safest place on earth If the years have made us weathered If the road has made us slow I will know you by the way you smile And I will walk you home [Outro] The kettle hums beside the window Soft rain gathers on the stone You don’t have to find the doorway You were never far from home
