[Verse 1]
I left my boots by the door
Still wet from the hill
Your cup sits by the sink
Like it’s waiting there still
The kettle has gone cold
On the little pine stove
And the rain taps the glass
Where your shadow once roamed

[Pre-Chorus]
If I call your name out
Will the rafters reply?
Will the ash in the hearth
Turn to smoke in my eyes?

[Chorus]
Oh, my dear, come home
(come home, come home)
The moor is turning dark
Oh, my dear, come home
(come home, come home)
I can’t mend this broken heart
I can’t mend this broken heart

[Verse 2]
Your scarf on the nail
Still smells faint of the sea
And the lane by the field
Looks the same to me
The church bell is slow
When the wind comes through
I pass your old gate
And it passes me too

[Pre-Chorus]
If I call your name out
Will the bracken still bend?
Or are we just two lives
That the year couldn’t mend?

[Chorus]
Oh, my dear, come home
(come home, come home)
The moor is turning dark
Oh, my dear, come home
(come home, come home)
I can’t mend this broken heart
I can’t mend this broken heart

[Bridge]
I stood by the stile
Where we swore we’d remain
But the sheep have moved on
And the fields wore the rain
So I’ll keep your chair
And the firewood dry
Till the last light is gone
And the winter walks by

[Final Chorus]
Oh, my dear, come home
(come home, come home)
The moor is turning dark
Oh, my dear, come home
(come home, come home)
I can’t mend this broken heart
I can’t mend this broken heart
(come home)
