[Intro] [Instrumental] [Verse 1] You left your blue coat on the kitchen chair Rain found the window, gathered there I kept one cup beside the sink As if the room could change its mind and think [Pre-Chorus] I fold the morning into smaller shapes Hide all the words I couldn't say [Chorus] If you come back, come back quietly The house still keeps a place for you and me No grand confession, no need to explain Just set your hand beside mine again And let the silence tell us what it knows Before the last warm room is closed [Verse 2] Your photograph leans under a book I pass it slowly, then I look The garden gate still gives one tired cry Whenever someone walks by [Pre-Chorus] I count the steps from here to there And lose the number in the air [Chorus] If you come back, come back quietly The house still keeps a place for you and me No grand confession, no need to explain Just set your hand beside mine again And let the silence tell us what it knows Before the last warm room is closed [Bridge] I’m learning how a room can hold The shape of someone gone How every ordinary thing Can keep the waiting on [Final Chorus] If you come back, come back quietly I’ll leave the porch light low and easy No grand confession, no need to explain Just set your hand beside mine again And if you don’t, I’ll still move slow Through all the places we once knew [Outro] [Instrumental]
