No Honest Gift

[Verse 1]
You came in with your coat half-wet
And rain still caught in your hair
I knew the shape of home in you
Before I knew how much I'd spent

[Pre-Chorus]
I gave my best to passing hands
Till nothing stayed beneath my skin
Now you are here, the door is open
But I don't know what I can bring

[Chorus]
I found you when my heart ran dry
You deserve a love I can't supply
I want to meet you whole and true
But all my tenderness went through
Too many names, too many years
I have no honest gift but tears

[Verse 2]
Your cup is waiting by the sink
Your book lies open, page undone
You ask me what I'm thinking of
I count the things I can't become

[Pre-Chorus]
If time could give back what I spent
I'd save a little for this day
But every road that led me here
Has taken something on the way

[Bridge]
Don't call it your fault
You arrived in time
I just used up the part of me
That could have met you right

[Final Chorus]
I found you when my heart ran dry
You deserve a love I can't supply
I want to meet you whole and true
But all my tenderness went through
Too many names, too many years
I have no honest gift but tears

[Outro]
You deserve more than what remains
And I am sorry for the way
