Текст песни
[Куплет 1] You left your coffee by the window Half a ring upon the wood I kept the chair beside the doorway Longer than i should Your blue coat hangs behind the kitchen Still carries winter rain I touch the sleeve and hear you telling me Not to call your name [Предприпев] I’ve learned to sleep with one eye open I’ve learned the house can lie But every road that bends toward morning Brings you back to mind [Припев] If you come back, come back slowly Don’t promise what you cannot give I’ve got a heart that’s tired of breaking But it still remembers how to live If you come back, stand beside me Let the old hurt take its time I won’t ask you for forever Just don’t leave me here tonight [Куплет 2] The screen door slams in the afternoon The dog looks down the lane A freight train rolls beyond the cotton Like a low and distant strain I found your note beneath the sugar Three words in faded blue I read them till the paper softened Like i used to do with you [Предприпев] I’ve learned the cost of holding on I’ve paid it every day Still there’s a part of me that listens When the wind says your name [Припев] If you come back, come back slowly Don’t promise what you cannot give I’ve got a heart that’s tired of breaking But it still remembers how to live If you come back, stand beside me Let the old hurt take its time I won’t ask you for forever Just don’t leave me here tonight [Бридж] Maybe we were young and frightened Maybe pride stood in the door Maybe love was never absent Maybe we just asked for more Now i can meet you without anger Now i can tell the truth There was never any morning That i didn’t look for you [Final chorus] If you come back, come back slowly Lay your hand inside of mine I’ve got a heart that’s done with hiding And it’s still willing to try If you come back, stand beside me Let the old hurt lose its claim I won’t ask you for forever Just come back and stay [Аутро] Come back and stay Come back and stay The kettle’s on, the door is open Come back and stay
