Текст песни
[Verse 1] You left your blue scarf on the kitchen chair A little winter folded into cotton there I found the note you wrote beside the phone Three crooked words that said, “Please make it home” [Pre-Chorus] The kettle sighed, the old clock leaned Your Sunday coat still held your shape somehow [Chorus] If you’re tired, come sit beside me No need to explain the years I kept a place beneath the window Where the afternoon comes clear And if your hands have learned to tremble I will hold them while they do Some roads take us far from each other But they still come back to you [Verse 2] The garden gate has gathered flecks of green The pear tree bends the way it always did in spring I hear your laugh in the neighbor’s yard For half a breath, the distance isn’t hard [Pre-Chorus] The kettle sighed, the old clock leaned And every quiet thing remembered you [Chorus] If you’re tired, come sit beside me No need to explain the years I kept a place beneath the window Where the afternoon comes clear And if your hands have learned to tremble I will hold them while they do Some roads take us far from each other But they still come back to you [Bridge] We were young enough to call it forever Old enough to know that days can change Still, the heart keeps one small lantern burning For the footsteps it can name [Final Chorus] If you’re tired, come sit beside me Let the silence have its say There’s a blanket by the doorway And a little light left in the day And if your hands have learned to tremble I will hold them while they do Some roads take us far from each other But they still come back to you [Outro] Your blue scarf on the kitchen chair Your name is safe and waiting there
