083 One of You
Lyrics
you sit right there
same chair same hands
i say your name
and wait for it to land
i bring up the coast
the motel the rain
it reaches your face
then thins into air
i pour the tea
i straighten the room
and when your face comes back
i keep it too long
some nights i talk to you
some nights i keep what answers
same ring in the dish
same key by the door
you go quiet in this room
but not where i keep you
i line up the pills
wipe down the sink
you ask if it's morning
with supper already on
i tell the old joke
you used to tell first
the cup shakes once
i let that count
i don't say come back
i don't say you're gone
i keep one room for silence
one where i let time stay wrong
some nights i talk to you
some nights i keep the voice that gets me through
same bed same walls
same moon through the blinds
you go quiet beside me
but not in my mind
your feet know the hall
your hand knows the rail
sometimes my name
still fits in your mouth
i leave your coat on the hook
your shoes by the door
one of you goes quiet
one of you keeps me here
