[Intro] [Instrumental: drums only] [Verse 1] I found your note beneath the cup The ink had blurred, the tea was cold You wrote my name and crossed it out Then left the window open wide [Verse 2] Your red coat hangs behind the door One brass key rests on the sill I turn it over in my palm And hear your steps that never came [Chorus 1] You leave a little room for me A chair pulled back, a light left on I tell myself it's only habit Still I wait until the kettle's gone [Chorus 2] You leave a little room for me A chair pulled back, a light left on I tell myself it's only habit Still I wait until the kettle's gone [Verse 3] The morning takes the shape of rain Your coat is gone, the key stays here I fold the note along its crease And let the quiet settle in [Outro] If you come back, you know the door If you don't, I'll be all right
