Where You Are

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You fold the paper map along the seam And trace the river with your thumbnail The kettle clicks; the kitchen settles down You say the train is running late again [Pre-Chorus] I know the little pause before you speak The way you turn a question into truth [Chorus] Tell me where you are, and I’ll meet you there By the station clock or the corner store You don’t have to make the story neat I can hear the part you leave unsaid [Verse 2] Your blue scarf’s hanging off the chair A bus ticket tucked inside the pocket You call to ask if I still keep the key I say I never found a reason not to [Pre-Chorus] That careful laugh comes through the telephone And for a moment, neither of us moves [Chorus] Tell me where you are, and I’ll meet you there By the station clock or the corner store You don’t have to make the story neat I can hear the part you leave unsaid [Bridge] If the last train leaves before you arrive There’s a bench beneath the old timetable I’ll bring the book you started in the spring We can read a page, then start again [Final Chorus] Tell me where you are, and I’ll meet you there By the station clock or the corner store You don’t have to make the story neat I can hear the part you leave unsaid [Outro] I can hear you I’m still here
