Babe, Come Back to Me

[intro] [Verse 1] I left your note by the screen door light Folded small in the rain The house kept still like it knew the fight And the clock kept calling your name [bridge] Your cup was warm on the sink at dawn Your scarf on the chair by the hall I stood there long after the song was gone Just staring at nothing at all [Pre-Chorus] Then I heard that old refrain Like a church bell in my brain One more chance, one more night One more reason to make it right [Chorus] Babe, come back to me Don’t let this end like this Babe, come back to me I still believe in us If love is just a door I’m standing at it now Babe, come back to me And I’ll hold you somehow [bridge] [Verse 2] The records shook when the wind came through The frame on the wall fell clean That little gold box with the ribbon blue Was waiting where the dishes lean I found your ring in the sugar tin Your laugh in the fading floor Every small thing that you left behind Makes me want you more [Pre-Chorus] And the night leans in so slow Like it knows what I don’t know If your heart is halfway near Let me meet you there, my dear [Chorus] Babe, come back to me Don’t let this end like this Babe, come back to me I still believe in us If love is just a door I’m standing at it now Babe, come back to me And I’ll hold you somehow [Bridge] [Classical piano break] Moon on the keys, then fire in the strings A runaway waltz in a circle of things I trace your shadow in the polished wood Say what I should’ve said when I could If pride was the thief, let it go If I was wrong, then let me know I’d cross that room, I’d cross that sea If you would only turn to me [bridge] [Final Chorus] Babe, come back to me Don’t let this end like this Babe, come back to me I still believe in us If love is just a door I’m standing at it now Babe, come back to me And I’ll hold you somehow [Outro] Babe, come back to me Babe, come back to me I’m still here I’m still here
