Lyrics
[Verse 1] Your blue cup waits beside the sink Dust gathers where your coat once hung I still leave room beside the door For footsteps that will not come [Pre-Chorus] The train has carried you away Past fields I cannot name I fold the map beneath my hand And miss you all the same [Chorus] If distance has a sound, it is this room A quiet chair, a fading tune I hold your letter to the light And find a little hope inside [Verse 2] Your photograph is losing color At the edges of the frame But I remember how you laughed Before you said my name [Pre-Chorus] The winter pressed against the glass The kettle softly sighed I learned that love can stay awake With no one by its side [Chorus] If distance has a sound, it is this room A quiet chair, a fading tune I hold your letter to the light And find a little hope inside [Bridge] Maybe spring will turn the garden Maybe roads will meet again I will keep the porch light gentle Not a promise, just a friend [Chorus] If distance has a sound, it is this room A quiet chair, a fading tune I hold your letter to the light And find a little hope inside [Outro] Your blue cup waits beside the sink And morning enters soft and wide I say your name into the room Then let the silence answer mine
