A Light in This Window

[Verse 1]
Your blue mug waits beside the sink
The kettle clicks, the curtains breathe
I read the note you left at dawn
Then fold it small and keep it close

[Pre-Chorus]
I know the miles won't turn around
But I can meet you where you are

[Chorus]
When the long day lets you go
And the last train takes you home
There will be a light in this window
There will be a place beside me
You don't have to say a thing
You can set your tired coat down
When the long day lets you go
I'll be here when you come back around

[Verse 2]
The hallway clock is running slow
Your old red scarf is on the chair
I save the stories from my day
For when your footsteps fill the stairs

[Pre-Chorus]
No grand promise, no parade
Just one small room that knows your name

[Chorus]
When the long day lets you go
And the last train takes you home
There will be a light in this window
There will be a place beside me
You don't have to say a thing
You can set your tired coat down
When the long day lets you go
I'll be here when you come back around

[Bridge]
If the road has worn you thin
If the words won't come tonight
Let the quiet do its work
You can borrow all my time

[Final Chorus]
When the long day lets you go
And the last train takes you home
There will be a light in this window
There will be a place beside me
You don't have to say a thing
You can set your tired coat down
When the long day lets you go
I'll be here when you come back around

[Outro]
Your blue mug waits beside the sink
And I leave the window light on
