[Verse 1] Your coat is still hooked by the door Rain beads on the glass in a row I leave the kitchen light burning Though I know you won't come home [Chorus] Tell me what the quiet keeps When the whole house settles down I can almost hear you turning At the far end of the hall [Verse 2] Your clock skips a beat by the sink Your blue cup waits where you left it I touch the chip rim with my thumb Then put it back on the shelf [Chorus] Tell me what the quiet keeps When the whole house settles down I can almost hear you turning At the far end of the hall [Outro] Morning will find the door shut Your coat still hanging there What the quiet keeps What the quiet keeps
