A Room With No Doorway

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Your blue coat hangs beside the door Rain keeps drawing maps across the floor I touch the sleeve, then pull away As if the cloth might know what to say [Pre-Chorus] You left your key inside the bowl A small brass moon I can't let go I tell myself the night will pass Then watch your shape return in glass [Chorus] Stay where the silence can’t reach you Stay till the windows turn pale I keep a place in the dark for you Though every promise comes frail If love is a room with no doorway I’m still calling through the wall Come back before I forget you Come back before I lose it all [Verse 2] The kettle clicks at half past two I pour one cup and think of you Your name sits softly on my tongue A prayer I learned before I was young [Pre-Chorus] The hallway bends when I close my eyes Your shadow crosses, then unties I know the dawn will take its due Still every road turns back to you [Chorus] Stay where the silence can’t reach you Stay till the windows turn pale I keep a place in the dark for you Though every promise comes frail If love is a room with no doorway I’m still calling through the wall Come back before I forget you Come back before I lose it all [Bridge] I would trade every morning For one honest minute with you No more beautiful leaving No more almost coming through Say my name like you mean it Let the whole room come undone I have held on through the winter I can’t keep holding on alone [Final Chorus] Stay where the silence can’t reach you Stay till the windows turn pale I kept a place in the dark for you Now I can hear it go frail If love is a room with no doorway I’m still calling through the wall Come back before I forget you Come back—or let me lose it all [Outro] Your blue coat hangs beside the door I don’t touch the sleeve anymore
