Blue Coat

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You left your blue coat on my kitchen chair Rain beaded silver in the fabric there I moved it twice, then put it back again Some little habit I could still defend [Pre-Chorus] The kettle clicked, the room went still Your name was resting on the windowsill [Chorus] Bob nio, I’m talking to the empty room Bob nio, your side still holds its shape by noon I tell myself that letting go is kind Then find your blue coat every time Bob nio, come back through the open door Bob nio, I don’t know what I’m waiting for [Verse 2] Your coffee cup has a chipped white rim I keep the one with the faded hymn The neighbor’s dog barked twice at half past ten For one bright second, I was home again [Pre-Chorus] The kettle clicked, the room went still Your name was resting on the windowsill [Chorus] Bob nio, I’m talking to the empty room Bob nio, your side still holds its shape by noon I tell myself that letting go is kind Then find your blue coat every time Bob nio, come back through the open door Bob nio, I don’t know what I’m waiting for [Bridge] If you’re somewhere under different rain If you’ve learned to sleep without my name I hope the morning treats you gently there I’ll leave the porch light on, just in case you care [Final Chorus] Bob nio, I’m talking to the empty room Bob nio, your side still holds its shape by noon I tell myself that letting go is kind Then find your blue coat every time Bob nio, come back through the open door Bob nio, I don’t know what I’m waiting for [Outro] Blue coat on the kitchen chair Blue coat, you’re still there
