Til She Comes Back Home

[Verse 1]
She landed in Scotland
With a coat and a plan
Middle-aged and stubborn
A Canada heart in her hand

He was thirty-something
At the back of the bar
Oilers on his chest now
Like he wore his whole life scar

[Pre-Chorus]
He said, "You look like trouble"
She said, "Boy, you ain't wrong"
Then that room got smaller
And the night got long

[Chorus]
Oilers on his chest
Black bow in her hair
Oilers on his chest
They met right there
Count the days, count the days
'Til she comes back home
Count the days, count the days
'Til they're not alone

[Verse 2]
They kissed under old stone walls
By the rain and the smoke
Shared fries in a paper tray
And laughed till they both choked

She loved his rough-edged kindness
He loved her steady flame
Two lost maps on the table
And neither one the same

[Pre-Chorus]
Then the words came heavy
Like a winter road
Canada was calling
And she had to go

[Chorus]
Oilers on his chest
Black bow in her hair
Oilers on his chest
They met right there
Count the days, count the days
'Til she comes back home
Count the days, count the days
'Til they're not alone

[Bridge]
Now he marks the calendar
By the cuts in the wall
Empty where she used to sit
He hates the sound of fall

She sends him late-night promises
He keeps them like gold
Two hearts on different oceans
Still refusing to fold

[Final Chorus]
Oilers on his chest
Black bow in her hair
Oilers on his chest
He still sees her there
Count the days, count the days
'Til she comes back home
Count the days, count the days
'Til they're not alone

[Outro]
When the train pulls in again
He'll be where he said
Oilers on his chest
And her bow back on his head
