Leave a Light

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You left your coat beside the door The rain had stopped, the floor was cold I found your note beneath the bowl A careful line, then nothing more [Pre-Chorus] I keep the window cracked at night As if the room might change its mind Your name comes easy to my mouth The answer never comes around [Chorus] If you still feel me where you are Send one small sign across the dark I’m learning how to let you go While every part of me says no If there’s a road that leads you home I’ll leave a light beside the stone [Verse 2] The kettle clicks at half past six I make two cups, then pour one out Your book is open to the page Where you had underlined a doubt [Pre-Chorus] I keep the window cracked at night As if the room might change its mind Your name comes easy to my mouth The answer never comes around [Chorus] If you still feel me where you are Send one small sign across the dark I’m learning how to let you go While every part of me says no If there’s a road that leads you home I’ll leave a light beside the stone [Bridge] Maybe love is not a promise Maybe it’s the space we keep Maybe I can hold your absence Without asking it to speak [Final Chorus] If you still feel me where you are Send one small sign across the dark I’m learning how to let you go Though some nights I still say no If there’s a road that leads you home I’ll leave a light beside the stone I’ll leave a light beside the stone [Outro] The rain has stopped The room is still I leave the light on
