I found your name In the heel of my coat Folded and tired Like a boat on the road The room was bare Just a chair and the rain And your old red scarf On the back of my pain I kept the key For a door that was gone I kept your light Till the morning came on Come back home Come back home I am still here With the ashes in my coat Come back home Come back home I have your song And the weight of your ghost The bread went hard On the edge of the plate The milk turned thin By the end of the day I spoke to the wall Like it might know your face It gave me the cold And a little more grace I kept the key For a door that was gone I kept your light Till the morning came on Come back home Come back home I am still here With the ashes in my coat Come back home Come back home I have your song And the weight of your ghost If you see me now I am quieter than before A man with his hands On a locked kitchen door The winter could take What the summer once stole But it left me your voice Like a hole in my soul Come back home Come back home I am still here With the ashes in my coat Come back home Come back home I have your song And the weight of your ghost
