Come Home by the Old Roadv6

[Verse 1] You left your blue coat on the chair The one with rain along the seam I found a ticket in the pocket From the ferry back in June [Verse 2] The kettle clicks, the window sweats A sparrow takes the sill at dawn I turn the cup you always used And set the chipped one back where it belongs [Chorus] Come home by the old road Past the field and the stone wall I’ll leave the porch light burning I’ll leave the latch undone Come home by the old road There’s room for you beside me No grand words, no promise Just the place where we began [Verse 3] Your note is folded by the sink The ink has blurred beneath a ring I know the shape of every letter Still I read it like it’s new [Chorus] Come home by the old road Past the field and the stone wall I’ll leave the porch light burning I’ll leave the latch undone Come home by the old road There’s room for you beside me No grand words, no promise Just the place where we began [Outro] The blue coat waits beside the door The morning finds the floor
