[Verse 1] You left your blue coat on the kitchen chair Rain on the windows, flour in your hair You laughed when the old screen door banged I forgot every clever thing I’d planned [Pre-Chorus] Then you reached for the jar on the shelf And I caught myself smiling to myself [Chorus] I’m falling for you, slow as a river Sure as the spring coming back to the field One little look and my careful heart gives up I’m falling, I’m falling, and I like how it feels [Verse 2] We took the long way past Miller’s barn Your hand found mine by the cattle guard You told me the names of the roads you knew I started imagining miles with you [Pre-Chorus] You hummed while the sunset thinned And every quiet mile pulled me in [Chorus] I’m falling for you, slow as a river Sure as the spring coming back to the field One little look and my careful heart gives up I’m falling, I’m falling, and I like how it feels [Bridge] If tomorrow brings a hard, cold rain I’ll save you the dry side of the lane No grand vow, no diamond ring Just your hand in mine for everything [Final Chorus] I’m falling for you, slow as a river Sure as the spring coming back to the field One little look and my careful heart gives up I’m falling, I’m falling, and I like how it feels I’m falling, I’m falling—and I’m staying right here [Outro] Your blue coat’s still on the kitchen chair And I’m glad you left it there
