Lyrics
[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
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
