Last Train Home

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Your boots by the door Still marked with dust You folded your coat Like it was us I hold my breath At your chair, still set The house keeps score Of what it gets [Pre-Chorus] I watch your hands So slow, so tired You say my name Like a lit match fired I want to say Stay one more night But the room goes thin And steals my sight [Chorus] Bye, dad, bye Don’t fade from me Bye, dad, bye Come back in dreams I’ll keep your keys I’ll keep your song Bye, dad, bye Hold on, hold on (hold on) [Verse 2] The kettle sings In the next room Your laugh still lives In the cracked blue spoon I trace the dent In the table edge Where you taught me To say what I meant [Pre-Chorus] Now every wall Has your shape in it Every old photo Feels a little split I want to run Back through the door But your hand lifts up And asks for more [Chorus] Bye, dad, bye Don’t fade from me Bye, dad, bye Come back in dreams I’ll keep your keys I’ll keep your song Bye, dad, bye Hold on, hold on (hold on) [Bridge] If the dark comes down And takes the lane I’ll call your name Through the rain If time gets cruel And pulls us apart You live in my step You live in my heart (in my heart) [Final Chorus] Bye, dad, bye Don’t fade from me Bye, dad, bye Come back in dreams I’ll keep your keys I’ll keep your song Bye, dad, bye Hold on, hold on (hold on) Bye, dad, bye Still in my hands Bye, dad, bye I understand (I understand)
