The Space Your Leaving Hasn't (Vocals)

Lyrics by D.M.A. You left the kettle on again A thin blue flame beneath the rain I found your coat behind the chair Still carrying the smell of outside air I count the tiles beneath my feet To keep my hands from missing yours If I go quiet, stay nearby Don’t turn the bedroom light off yet I’m learning how to occupy The space your leaving hasn’t left The hallway clock skips every hour The window shakes without a storm I read the note beside the flour Until the paper loses form I count the tiles beneath my feet To keep my hands from missing yours If I go quiet, stay nearby Don’t turn the bedroom light off yet I’m learning how to occupy The space your leaving hasn’t left Let the morning find me here With both feet planted on the floor No promise that I won’t disappear Just one small breath, then one more If I go quiet, stay nearby Don’t turn the bedroom light off yet I’m learning how to occupy The space your leaving hasn’t left If I go quiet, say my name Until it sounds like mine again The kettle clicks The room goes still I’m here I’m here
