[Verse 1]
Your cup is still beside the sink
I move it when I need the space
The train rolls past our window late
And leaves your side of town in place

[Chorus]
You’re somewhere past the county line
Where morning comes a different way
I keep a little room for you
In all the quiet of the day

[Verse 2]
Your last note’s folded in my coat
The paper’s soft along the crease
I read the weather where you are
Then let the evening settle in

[Chorus]
You’re somewhere past the county line
Where morning comes a different way
I keep a little room for you
In all the quiet of the day

[Bridge]
I won’t ask the miles to vanish
I know what they can take
I’ll save the chair beside the window
For the day you find your way

[Final Chorus]
You’re somewhere past the county line
And I still know the words you say
I keep a little room for you
And miss you in the ordinary days

[Outro]
The kettle cools, the house grows still
I leave the porch light as it is
