Lyrics
[Verse 1] Your blue scarf hangs beside the kitchen door Still holding rain from the day you left I fold the letters under the drawer And keep your handwriting close to my chest [Pre-Chorus] The kettle cools, the house grows wide I count the miles I cannot cross tonight [Chorus] If you remember this room, remember me The cup with the hairline crack, the old pine tree I am learning how to carry what remains A little hope, a little ache, a name [Verse 2] Your photograph slipped down behind the frame I found it while I dusted yesterday You were laughing before you knew my name Before the roads had taken you away [Pre-Chorus] The winter coat still smells of cedarwood I touch the sleeve as if I know I should [Chorus] If you remember this room, remember me The cup with the hairline crack, the old pine tree I am learning how to carry what remains A little hope, a little ache, a name [Bridge] Maybe distance is a door, not a wall Maybe some things bend and do not fall When the first warm morning finds this town I will leave one lamp for you to find me by [Chorus] If you remember this room, remember me The cup with the hairline crack, the old pine tree I am learning how to carry what remains A little hope, a little ache, a name [Outro] Your blue scarf hangs beside the kitchen door I leave it there, and ask for nothing more
