Every Room Knows Your Name

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The porch boards know the weight of your boots The kettle starts before I ask Months of miles fall off your shoulders When I meet you at the door at last You leave your coat across the chair I feel the road still in your hands I draw you close and hold you there Till home is all you understand [Pre-Chorus] You say my name like morning light I say, “Come in, you’re safe tonight” [Chorus] Come home, come close, let the long road end Lay your tired heart here again I’ve kept your place, I’ve kept the flame And every room still knows your name Come home, come close, stay here with me No more miles between you and me [Verse 2] You tell me how the days ran on Of borrowed beds and stations passed I smooth the worry from your brow And kiss the months away at last Your laugh returns against my cheek The quiet settles in the room I wrap my arms around you now And let the night make space for two [Pre-Chorus] You say my name like morning light I say, “Come in, you’re safe tonight” [Chorus] Come home, come close, let the long road end Lay your tired heart here again I’ve kept your place, I’ve kept the flame And every room still knows your name Come home, come close, stay here with me No more miles between you and me [Bridge] [Male] I thought of this door every mile [Female] I saved my arms for your return [Male] Now all the miles are quiet [Female] And here’s the rest you’ve earned [Final Chorus] Come home, come close, let the long road end Lay your tired heart here again I’ve kept your place, I’ve kept the flame And every room still knows your name Come home, come close, stay here with me No more miles between you and me Come home, come close, let the long road end You’re where you belong again [Outro] Rest your head here, love, tonight You’re home, you’re home, you’re home
