Skyfalls Red Clay

[Verse 1] I found your note by the screen door Bent in the wind, half-blue It said, "Don't wait where you left me" So I stood in the rain for you Your old boots by the front step Still hold that red clay line And every drip off the gutter Sings back your name in time [Pre-Chorus] I keep your jacket by the chair Like you'd walk in and take it there Every mile between us Feels like a prayer [Chorus] Under the skyfalls I call your name Under the skyfalls Nothing stays the same If you come back now I'll still be here Under the skyfalls Bringing you near (bringing you near) [Verse 2] The creek cut a silver angle Through the corn after dark I saw your hand on the fence rail In the frost on my car The porch light flicked once, then nothing Like a blink from the past I wrapped both hands around your old mug And the night looked back [Pre-Chorus] I keep your jacket by the chair Like you'd walk in and take it there Every mile between us Feels like a prayer [Chorus] Under the skyfalls I call your name Under the skyfalls Nothing stays the same If you come back now I'll still be here Under the skyfalls Bringing you near (bringing you near) [Bridge] Maybe the road got colder Maybe the years got loud But I learned your silence Like a hymn in a crowd So if you hear me breaking Through the hard white rain Follow that little blue mailbox Back to me again [Final Chorus] Under the skyfalls I call your name Under the skyfalls Come back the same If you come back now I'll still be here Under the skyfalls Bringing you near (bringing you near) Under the skyfalls I call your name Under the skyfalls Bring you home again
