[Verse 1] You left your blue cup by the window A thumbprint dried along the rim I keep it where the morning finds it As if the room could let you in The old oak gives a quiet answer When rain leans softly on the roof I fold your letter by the kettle And let the silence tell the truth [Pre-Chorus] If I follow every rising chord Will it lead me back to your door? If I say your name beneath my breath Will the house remember us once more? [Chorus] Stay a little in the shape of things In the chair, in the coat, in the spring I can carry what the years undo If one small part still sounds like you [Verse 2] The garden mint has crossed the gravel Your boots are gone, the path remains I hear you in the kitchen window Laughing beneath the summer rain I learned the weight of empty mornings The careful art of moving slow But every tender thing I’m keeping Is something you were glad to know [Pre-Chorus] If I follow every rising chord Will it lead me back to your door? If I say your name beneath my breath Will the house remember us once more? [Chorus] Stay a little in the shape of things In the chair, in the coat, in the spring I can carry what the years undo If one small part still sounds like you [Bridge] Just guitar strings and the kettle’s sigh One pale cloud passing through the sky I don’t need to hold the whole goodbye I can let it rest, I can let it lie [Final Chorus] Stay a little in the shape of things In the chair, in the coat, in the spring Now the room has opened to the blue And the life I love still carries you [Outro] Your blue cup waits beside the window Warm light gathers on the rim
