Two Towns Apart

Testo

[Verse 1] Your coffee mug is still beside the sink I reach for it before I start to think The porch light hums above the empty chair Like some small promise waiting in the air [Pre-Chorus] You call when the highway turns to black I count the mile markers till you make it back [Chorus] Two towns apart, but I know your every road The way you laugh when the day's been hard to hold I press your picture to the window when it rains And love you through the miles, through the waiting trains If distance is a river running wide I'll meet you at the other side [Verse 2] Your Sunday letters gather in a drawer Blue ink and little plans for something more You tell me 'bout the garden by your door I tell you how the dog still checks the floor [Pre-Chorus] Some nights the silence settles like a stone Then your voice turns this old house into home [Chorus] Two towns apart, but I know your every road The way you laugh when the day's been hard to hold I press your picture to the window when it rains And love you through the miles, through the waiting trains If distance is a river running wide I'll meet you at the other side [Bridge] One day your suitcase won't be by the bed One day these borrowed hours will be ours instead We'll leave the porch light burning just the same For all the years that carried us this way [Final Chorus] No towns apart, just one familiar road Your hand in mine, the only place I need to go We'll laugh about the miles and all the nights we stayed And thank the patient love that never changed If distance was a river running wide We crossed it side by side [Outro] Your coffee mug is still beside the sink Now you are here, and I have time to think
