The Bell That Never Moves

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You leave your coat on the iron chair Rain draws maps on the window there I keep your key beside the sink And count the hours I don't sleep [Pre-Chorus] You said the door would know your hand Now every lock forgets the plan [Chorus] Come back through the hollow hall I still know the shape of it all Your name hangs heavy in the room Like a bell that never moves [Verse 2] The kitchen clock has lost a tooth It skips the hour I last saw you I pour two cups, then let one cool The simplest habits make me cruel [Pre-Chorus] You said the door would know your hand Now every lock forgets the plan [Chorus] Come back through the hollow hall I still know the shape of it all Your name hangs heavy in the room Like a bell that never moves [Bridge] If I could turn the key again Would you come in, or would it end? I press my palm against the wood And wait where waiting never could [Final Chorus] Come back through the hollow hall I still know the shape of it all Your name hangs heavy in the room Like a bell that never moves [Outro] The cup goes cold The lock stays still
