[Intro] The shutters cough dust into the rain A bus sighs empty by the station [Verse 1: Male Rap] Your blue cup still waits beside the sink The kettle clicks; I forget to drink I count the coins beneath the chair Then hear your old key scrape the stair The landlord chalked another mark The hallway bulb gave up at dark I carried all we couldn't mend Like folded letters with no end [Chorus: Male Vocals] Who will call my name when winter takes the room? Who will lift these bricks from where the roses used to bloom? I keep your Sunday scarf tucked underneath my coat One small thread is all I have to keep us both afloat [Verse 2: Male Rap] My closest friend sold our secret cheap Love left a bitter taste to keep At the corner shop they know my face But no one asks what time erased The tram goes rattling past the quay I take the long way home each day A pencil snaps; the page stays bare Still I write your name in air [Final Chorus: Female Vocals] If this whole town turns to ash, I’ll gather what remains I’ll carry every tender word through alleys full of rain Though the garden lost its color, though the branches bow I am singing for the heart that cannot answer now [Outro] The blue cup cools beside the sink Morning comes before I think
