Songtext

[Verse 1] I left the blue cup by the window Where the morning finds the room Your letter folded underneath it Still carrying your perfume I learned the weight of quiet footsteps On the stairs we used to share But every door I close behind me Leaves a little more air [Pre-Chorus] If the road keeps turning eastward I will follow what is true With a pocket full of questions And a heart that points to you [Chorus] Call me through the open country Call me past the fields of stone I will cross the changing borders Till I find the way back home Let the old world sing around us Let the new day take its time You and I can make a promise In a language without lines [Verse 2] There is cinnamon on the table And a red thread on my sleeve Little signs from distant places Teaching me what to believe I have carried all our winter Like a coat I couldn't mend Now the first warm rain is falling And I can begin again [Pre-Chorus] If the road keeps turning eastward I will follow what is true With a pocket full of questions And a heart that points to you [Chorus] Call me through the open country Call me past the fields of stone I will cross the changing borders Till I find the way back home Let the old world sing around us Let the new day take its time You and I can make a promise In a language without lines [Bridge] No map can hold the shape of mercy No clock can tell us when to start Put your hand against my heartbeat Hear the answer in the dark From the valley to the harbor From the dust to morning rain I have lost the fear of leaving I can choose my name again [Final Chorus] Call me through the open country Call me past the fields of stone I will cross the changing borders Till I find the way back home Let the old world sing around us Let the new day take its time You and I can make a promise In a language without lines [Outro] In a language without lines I am yours, and I am mine
