You left in the orange sun With the suitcase small Eyes so full of distant waves I thought you’d be back by fall
Now the tiles are cold at dawn And all the chairs in place Two cups on the kitchen shelf One still waits for your embrace
[Chorus] Come back to me, my darling Wind keeps calling out your name Boats still rock where we once played Only I have stayed the same Come back to me, my darling Tide rewrites our yesterday If you walk that road again I will meet you in the rain
[Verse 2] Your old scarf along the door My darling, it’s salt and dust Letters that I never sent Folded tight in silent trust
I still set your plate at night And wait you, just in case I talk into the quiet air Hear your ghost in every phrase
[Chorus] Come back to me, my darling Wind keeps calling out your name Boats still rock where we once played Only I have stayed the same Come back to me, my darling Tide rewrites our yesterday If you walk that road again I will meet you in the rain
[Bridge] If you’ve found a softer shore And could find a kinder sky I will bless the path you chose I will love you till I die
But if ever storms grow wild And your brave heart turns to stone There’s a light in this small house There’s a place you still call home
