[Verse 1] Your coat is hanging by the kitchen door Dust on the cuffs from the county road I left a note where the coffee stains Said I was tired of carrying names [Pre-Chorus] The fields lie flat beneath the rain I know each turn, I know the way [Chorus] Keep one lamp burning in the window Leave the porch step clear for me I have run as far as I can go And the old house still remembers me If your heart can make a little room I’ll come home before the morning comes [Verse 2] The church bell counts the hours slow A truck rolls past with its lights turned low I kept your picture in my wallet fold Soft at the edges, worn with holding [Pre-Chorus] No grand excuse, no alibi Just this long road and a changing sky [Chorus] Keep one lamp burning in the window Leave the porch step clear for me I have run as far as I can go And the old house still remembers me If your heart can make a little room I’ll come home before the morning comes [Bridge] I can’t return the years I spent Or take back every word I meant But if you open up that door I won’t ask the past for more [Final Chorus] Keep one lamp burning in the window Leave the porch step clear for me I have run as far as I can go And the old house still remembers me If your heart can make a little room I’ll come home before the morning comes [Outro] Your coat is hanging by the kitchen door I’m on the road, not far no more
