The Blue Coat Waits
[Verse 1] You left your blue coat on the chair The sleeve still folded like a hand I found your note beneath the cup Ink softened where the tea had ran [Pre-Chorus] I kept the porch light burning low Though every road was yours to take And every winter I believed There was still time for us to change [Chorus] Come back, come back, if your heart can hear I’m still right here, I’m still right here Through every mile and every year Come back, come back, I’m still right here [Verse 2] The old clock skips at half past ten Your garden leans against the wall I learned to mend the kitchen screen But never learned to mend it all [Pre-Chorus] So take the train, or take your time No need to promise what you can’t Just leave one word beneath the cup And I will understand [Chorus] Come back, come back, if your heart can hear I’m still right here, I’m still right here Through every mile and every year Come back, come back, I’m still right here [Bridge] If home is only where we’re known Then you can bring your broken days I’ll meet you where the platform ends And let the silence fall away [Final Chorus] Come back, come back, if your heart can hear We’re still right here, we’re still right here Through every mile and every year Come back, come back, we’re still right here [Outro] The blue coat waits beside the door And I don’t fold it anymore
