Sunlit Strings

I found your note by the kitchen door

Sun on the floor,

and I wanted more

You were packing up the morning

I was counting every cup

Trying not to say I missed you Till the words caught up

There was rain along the window There was coffee turning cold

But you smiled like you were staying

And the day let go

Maybe we don't need a perfect sign

Maybe we can choose it

One more step across the line And not refuse it

So come on, meet me

where the road bends Bring all the pieces we could not mend

If love is a house,

let the door swing wide

I'm coming home to your side

I'm coming home to your side

We can leave the maps folded Let the mile signs pass us

by

Trade the old apologies For a clear blue sky

You can laugh about the hard years I can learn to take

your hand

In the quiet after thunder We can understand So come on,

meet me where the road bends Bring all the pieces we could

not mend

If love is a house,

let the door swing wide I'm coming home to your side

I'm coming home to your side

If the night gets heavy

We will carry less

Leave the blame behind us Keep the tenderness

I don't need an answer

Just a place to start

So come on, meet me where the road bends Bring all the

pieces we could not mend

If love is a house,

let the door swing wide I'm coming home to your side

I'm coming home to your side

I'm coming home to your side

Home

to your side
