Gasoline in the Rain

[Verse 1] You left the kettle boiling I found it hours later The kitchen wore a little cloud Like something had escaped Your coat still hangs there sideways One sleeve against the wall I keep walking past it Like I don’t see it at all [Chorus] Gasoline in the rain A little light that won’t behave I keep my hands around the flame And call it yours, and call it yours [Verse 2] The neighbours shut their curtains When I drag the bins outside I’ve got your old receipt book And nowhere left to hide The dates are all in blue ink The sums don’t add up right I say your name to the hallway It gives it back at night [Chorus] Gasoline in the rain A little light that won’t behave I keep my hands around the flame And call it yours, and call it yours [Bridge] I could let the whole thing go I could let the whole thing go But the door sticks in the frame And the lock still knows your name [Final Chorus] Gasoline in the rain A little light that won’t behave I keep my hands around the flame And call it yours, and call it yours Gasoline in the rain I watch it tremble, watch it fade I keep my hands around the flame Then leave the window open wide [Outro] The kettle’s cold The coat stays on
