Lyrics
[Verse 1] Your letter stayed beneath the cup The paper curled where winter touched I read the date, then read it twice As if the ink could change the night [Pre-Chorus] You are a train beyond the hill A distant sound, then nothing still I hold the words you couldn't say And carry them from day to day [Chorus] If you remember this small room The wool coat hanging by the door Then leave a little room for me Where we were more than almost gone Ahh, ahh, let the silence breathe Ohh, ohh, keep a place for me [Verse 2] The neighbor's kettle starts at six Your blue scarf rests among the books I fold it once, I fold it twice And lose you in the ordinary light [Pre-Chorus] Some distances are made of miles Some hide inside a familiar smile I speak your name beneath my breath Not to return, just not forget [Chorus] If you remember this small room The wool coat hanging by the door Then leave a little room for me Where we were more than almost gone Ahh, ahh, let the silence breathe Ohh, ohh, keep a place for me [Breakdown] Maybe the road will turn us home Maybe the heart can learn to wait I keep one candle by the glass For all the things that come too late [Bridge] And if your hands have changed by then If mine are tired from holding on I'll know the love was real enough To make a quiet sorrow sing [Final Chorus] If you remember this small room The wool coat hanging by the door Then leave a little room for me Where we were more than almost gone Ahh, ahh, let the silence breathe Ohh, ohh, keep a place for me [Outro] The letter sleeps beneath the cup The morning gathers what is left I leave the door unlocked tonight And let the colder air come in
