The Last Face I Get to

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The clock above the doorway lost a hand Its little brass face cannot understand You fold the letter, smooth the crease As if a careful touch could bargain peace [Pre-Chorus] The room grows quiet, one breath at a time Your fingers find their place inside of mine [Chorus] When the time ends, stay here with me No grand goodbye, no certainty Let every word we held unsaid Rest softly where our days have led When the time ends, before we go Be the last face I get to know [Verse 2] The curtain shifts; the hall is turning blue A cup of tea grows cold beside you You tell me how the garden smelled in June I keep that small detail like a tune [Pre-Chorus] The room grows quiet, one breath at a time Your fingers find their place inside of mine [Chorus] When the time ends, stay here with me No grand goodbye, no certainty Let every word we held unsaid Rest softly where our days have led When the time ends, before we go Be the last face I get to know [Bridge] If morning comes without your name I’ll keep the window just the same And in the hush before the day I’ll hear the things we couldn’t say [Final Chorus] When the time ends, stay here with me No grand goodbye, no certainty Let every word we held unsaid Rest softly where our days have led When the time ends, before we go Be the last face I get to know [Outro] The clock above the doorway waits The room grows still; the hour fades
