[Verse 1] I wore my luck like glass It cracked in my hands Your name on the ceiling Like a stain I can't wash The air got heavy fast When you walked out clean And every little prayer Fell back on me [Pre-Chorus] I kept the door unlatched I kept the flame low Still the room went cold Still the night said no [Chorus] Heaven hung black Over my head Heaven hung black darkness surrounded Heaven hung black Over my bed If you come back Don't come back dead [Verse 2] Your boots by the sink Your coat on the chair I trace that empty shape Like you could be there The clock kept chewing time Piece by piece And I could hear your goodbye In the keys [Pre-Chorus] I kept the door unlatched I kept the flame low Still the room went cold Still the night said no [Chorus] Heaven hung black Over my head Heaven hung black And I stayed there Heaven hung black Over my bed If you come back Don't come back dead [Bridge] I learned the dark by heart Counted every sign Tried to build a dawn Out of broken wire But the sky won't bend For a broken vow So I hold your ghost And I hold it now [Final Chorus] Heaven hung black Over my head Heaven hung black And I stayed there Heaven hung black Over my bed If you come back Don't come back dead
