[Intro] The streetlights fade to blue, the night still waits for you. [Verse 1] Your coat is on the chair, your shadow lingers there. The record turns around, then loses half its sound. A taxi crosses slow, I watch its red lights go. I tell the empty room, you may be coming home. [Pre-Chorus] Some goodbyes leave so quietly, they take years to set us free. [Chorus] Come back through the night, follow one small window light. You don't have to promise me, just sit down and breathe. Come back through the night, leave the old wrong turns outside. If your heart remembers mine, come back through the night. [Instrumental Interlude: piano, muted trumpet, upright bass, cello and soft strings] [Verse 2] The rain has washed the street, the dawn is at my feet. I leave the doorway wide, with nothing left to hide. [Final Chorus] Come back through the night, follow one small window light. If your heart remembers mine, come back through the night. [Outro] The streetlights fade to blue, the night still waits for you.
