These Streets Know Our Names

歌詞

[Verse 1] Your coat is hanging by the door The kettle clicks, the room stays still A bus goes sighing past the square And rain draws rivers down the sill [Pre-Chorus] You say the town remembers us In every turn we used to take I keep your note inside my book Though all the corners start to shake [Chorus] These streets are calling out our names Past the bakery, past the station lights I hear your laugh between the trams And feel you walking by my side If you come back before the morning Leave the window just a little wide These streets are calling out our names And I still know the way tonight [Verse 2] The old café has changed its sign The chessmen wait beside the glass I count the cracks along the wall And let the crowded hours pass [Pre-Chorus] Your blue scarf folded in a drawer Still holds the shape of winter air I tell myself the years move on Then turn and almost find you there [Chorus] These streets are calling out our names Past the bakery, past the station lights I hear your laugh between the trams And feel you walking by my side If you come back before the morning Leave the window just a little wide These streets are calling out our names And I still know the way tonight [Bridge] Maybe we were only young Maybe leaving was a kind of grace Still, every road I take from here Turns me toward your old front gate [Final Chorus] These streets are calling out our names Past the bakery, past the station lights I hear your laugh between the trams And feel you walking by my side If you come back before the morning Leave the window just a little wide These streets are calling out our names And I still know the way tonight [Outro] I still know the way I still know the way tonight
