[Intro] (Wordless, breathy vocal) Ooh… ah… Ooh… ah… [Verse 1] The curtains drink the last of day A thin blue line across the floor The kettle clicks, the pipes reply Like someone leaving through a wall My keys lie quiet in their bowl A small, unmoving constellation The window holds a second room Lit for a life I can’t step into [Pre-Chorus] I let the evening lose its name I let the shadows rearrange [Chorus] The room turns blue The corners move A slow tide climbing up the walls I don’t call out I don’t call it anything at all The room turns blue The clock forgets Which way the little hands should go I’m here, I’m here A light the empty room can hold [Verse 2] A car passes, then the glass Keeps trembling after it is gone The phone wakes up against the dark A tiny moon with nothing on Somewhere water finds a seam Somewhere a door swings in a dream I watch the ceiling change its skin And let the quiet wander in [Pre-Chorus] I let the evening lose its name The dark comes close, but stays the same [Chorus] The room turns blue The corners move A slow tide climbing up the walls I don’t call out I don’t call it anything at all The room turns blue The clock forgets Which way the little hands should go I’m here, I’m here A light the empty room can hold [Bridge] If there’s a shore beneath this floor Let it arrive without a sound If there’s a voice behind the door Let it be the house settling down I fold the dusk beneath my tongue A word too faint to come undone [Final Chorus] The room turns blue The corners move The far-off windows blur and glow I don’t call out I let the evening overflow The room turns blue The clock lets go The dark unthreads its silver seam I’m here, I’m here A quiet shape inside the blue [Outro] (Softly, with fading harmonies) The room turns blue The room turns blue Ooh… ah…
