[Verse 1] I saved your cup On the cedar shelf Still got your ring On the nail in the wall The porch board sighs When the wind comes in Like it knows your step Like it wants you back [Pre-Chorus] I keep that door Unlatched at night For a face that fades At the edge of sight My hands still reach For your sleeve in the dark And come back cold To the shape of a scar [Chorus] Come back, come back To this hollow place Come back, come back To our unfinished days Your ghost stays here On the cedar porch wood Come back, come back If you ever could [Verse 2] The kettle swore On the iron stove And the dog barked once At the empty road Your scarf is gone But the hook still Bowes Where you used to hang All your winter clothes [Pre-Chorus] I hear your laugh In the split-board floor Then the sound slips off Like a closing door If love was ours Why does it roam Why does it leave With a house as a home [Chorus] Come back, come back To this hollow place Come back, come back To our unfinished days Your ghost walks here On the cedar porch wood Come back, come back If you ever could [Bridge] I lit the lamp Till the oil ran low Watched the shadow lean Where you used to go If I call your name Will the rafters hold Will the whole wide room Turn warm from cold [Final Chorus] Come back, come back To this hollow place Come back, come back To our unfinished days Your ghost walks here Haunts the cedar porch wood Come back, come back If you ever could Come back, come back If you ever could
