Your Cup Is Where You Left

[Verse 1]
Your cup is where you left it by the door
Dust gathers softly where your footsteps were
I keep the lamp beside the window lit
As if your road might turn you home again

[Pre-Chorus]
The evening settles on the empty seat
And every quiet hour repeats your name

[Chorus]
Come back, my heart has kept your place
Come back, before the years grow wide
I call across the miles between us
Still saving all my love for you

[Verse 2]
The old date palms bend beneath the wind
Your letter rests beneath my folded shawl
I read the line that says you’ll soon return
Then fold it carefully and wait once more

[Pre-Chorus]
The evening settles on the empty seat
And every quiet hour repeats your name

[Chorus]
Come back, my heart has kept your place
Come back, before the years grow wide
I call across the miles between us
Still saving all my love for you

[Bridge]
If you can hear me, send a word
A single sign to ease this ache
I have not moved your chair an inch
I have not learned to say goodbye

[Final Chorus]
Come back, my heart has kept your place
Come back, before the years grow wide
I call across the miles between us
Still saving all my love for you

[Outro]
Your cup is where you left it by the door
And I am here, still waiting
