I Will Bring You Home

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Your blue coat hangs beside the kitchen door The kettle clicks; rain gathers on the glass I left my key beneath the flowerpot And took the road that runs behind the farms [Pre-Chorus] The last bus left an hour ago I know the hills, I know the way Keep one small lamp beside the stairs I’m closer with each mile I take [Chorus] I will bring you home Past the fields and winter fences I will bring you home Where your name still warms the silence If the road turns rough, if the night runs long Hold on to the place where we belong I will bring you home I will bring you home [Verse 2] The old bridge shakes beneath my borrowed bike A paper map is soft from all the rain I pass the orchard where we missed the turn And laugh to hear your voice there once again [Pre-Chorus] The hill is steep, the dawn is near Your window waits above the lane Keep one small lamp beside the stairs I’m almost there; I know the way [Chorus] I will bring you home Past the fields and winter fences I will bring you home Where your name still warms the silence If the road turns rough, if the night runs long Hold on to the place where we belong I will bring you home I will bring you home [Bridge] And if you meet me at the gate With tired eyes and cold hands No grand words, no promise made Just your fingers in my hands [Final Chorus] I will bring you home Past the fields and winter fences I will bring you home Where the kitchen light is waiting If the road turns rough, if the night runs long We’ll find the door; we’ll carry on I have brought you home I have brought you home [Outro] Your blue coat waits beside the door I’m here; you don’t have to roam
