Текст песни
[Verse 1] You left your blue coat on the kitchen chair A little dust from the county fair I found three seeds in the pocket seam And set them out beside the window dream [Pre-Chorus] The kettle cooled, the afternoon turned pale Your handwritten list was curled beside the mail [Chorus] If you come back by the old footbridge I’ll be waiting where the willows lean With a jar of rain and a borrowed match And the quietest heart you’ve ever seen [Verse 2] The garden gate still forgets to close Wild mint climbs up through the garden hose Your red tin cup has a crack down the side But I keep it on the shelf where the small things hide [Pre-Chorus] The radio fades when the weather comes Still I hear your laugh in the neighboring rooms [Chorus] If you come back by the old footbridge I’ll be waiting where the willows lean With a jar of rain and a borrowed match And the quietest heart you’ve ever seen [Bridge] Maybe the road will soften its bend Maybe the years will loosen their hands I’ll bring the seeds we forgot to plant You bring the truth you couldn’t say then [Final Chorus] If you come back by the old footbridge I’ll be waiting where the willows lean No grand promise, no polished speech Just the life we left between the trees [Outro] The blue coat rests on the kitchen chair Morning gathers softly there
