When Will You Be Mine

מילים

[Verse 1] You left your hat by the door Still smells like rain and rye I trace the brim with my thumb Like I can hold your goodbye Your boots by the porch Still kicking up my name I keep the same old chair And the same old flame [Pre-Chorus] Tell me soft, tell me true Do you mean what you say? I can wait on your shadow But shadows run away [Chorus] When will you be mine? (when will you be mine) When will you be mine? I got a heart on a line (heart on a line) When will you be mine? [Verse 2] There’s a ring on the screen door From where your hand once stayed And the glass on the counter Still holds your shade I’ve been counting the cracks In this hard oak floor One for every promise You don’t make no more [Pre-Chorus] Tell me soft, tell me true Do you mean what you say? I can wait on your shadow But shadows run away [Chorus] When will you be mine? (when will you be mine) When will you be mine? I got a heart on a line (heart on a line) When will you be mine? [Bridge] If you’re just passing through Then don’t stay in my chest I can bury a ghost But I can’t bury rest So look me in the eye Before you ride again Say my name like a vow Or leave me with the wind [Final Chorus] When will you be mine? (when will you be mine) When will you be mine? I got a heart on a line (heart on a line) When will you be mine? When will you be mine? (when will you be mine)
