[Verse 1] She keeps two chairs out on the porch one of them has been empty four years her daughter says it's time now she says the chair's not hurting anyone [Verse 2] She still makes coffee for the pot she still says the news out loud she says she isn't waiting she says she's just not finished talking [Chorus] Two chairs on the porch one cushion worn, one perfect two chairs on the porch she isn't crazy, she's still married grief is not a room you leave it's a house you learn to live in [Verse 3] Sometimes a neighbour sits there she says nothing, she just pours she likes it when the chair is used she says he'd have liked the company [Bridge] My father built those chairs, she said same wood, same day, same hands you don't take one apart just because one of them got quiet [Final Chorus] Two chairs on the porch I sat in it last Sunday two chairs on the porch she talked to me for an hour and I understood at last she wasn't talking to the chair [Outro] （wind, a screen door）
