Lyrics
Mmm... oh, oh... I set out one cup every morning Kept one chair turned toward the door Folded up my hopes like Sunday linen Tucked them in the cedar drawer So many winters I kept on wondering What was I waiting for? Then you knocked, so soft and sure And the lonely years fell away Oh, you knocked, so soft and sure The porch light stayed on for you Through every winter, every blue Come in out of the cold, my love Now you're here and I'm home, I'm home The porch light stayed on for you Now two cups are steaming on the table Your old coat hangs beside mine We dance barefoot on the kitchen tiles And the clock can take its time Mama's old piano plays in my heart again Every single line You knocked, so soft and sure And the lonely years fell away Oh, you knocked, so soft and sure The porch light stayed on for you Through every winter, every blue Come in out of the cold, my love Now you're here and I'm home, I'm home The porch light stayed on for you I prayed, I hoped, I waited Through all those quiet Saturday nights Now your hand is in my hand And oh, everything is right The porch light stayed on for you Through every winter, every blue Come in out of the cold, my love Now you're here and I'm home, I'm home Oh, the porch light stayed on, stayed on for you Stayed on for you... You're here, and I'm home.
