[Verse 1] Evening leans on the glass Streetlights blur on the pane My cup sits half alone Beside a ring of tea I watch the night come down One car, then another Like it forgot my name But came back anyway [Pre-Chorus] The hall light flickers low My shoes by the door And the whole room listens Like it knows this before [Chorus] Wind through the floorboards Wind in my coat Rattling the window Right through the bones It shakes the stale air Cuts through the ache Pulls the hard words loose Before they can break [Verse 2] The street turns black and slow With a silver skin of sound Old smoke in my coat And a coin in my palm I thought I'd feel less small By now, by now But the window blooms with frost And I stay where I am [Pre-Chorus] The glass keeps breathing cold The dark keeps coming near Still every passing car Makes the edges clear [Chorus] Wind through the floorboards Wind in my coat Rattling the window Right through the bones It shakes the stale air Cuts through the ache Pulls the hard words loose Before they can break [Bridge] If I stand in the hush Maybe I'll hear it too How the world lets go Without breaking in two No grand escape No holy sign Just shadows on the pane And a little more time [Final Chorus] Wind through the floorboards Wind in my coat Rattling the window Right through the bones It kicks at the silence It wakes up the room I lean on the glass And let it move through Wind through the floorboards Wind in my coat And for one sharp minute I feel the whole thing go
