One Sock Left

[Verse 1] I had two last night Right there by the chair Now one is a ghost And the other’s still there I shook out the sheet Checked under the bed Found a dime, found a crumb Found a button instead [Pre-Chorus] I swear it had a twin I swear it had a name Little cotton liar Playing a hiding game [Chorus] One sock left One sock left Where’d you go, where’d you go? One sock left One sock left I’m walking in a split soul [Verse 2] It’s in the laundry pile It’s in the grocery bag It’s stuck in the blanket Or under the rug I asked the whole room No one confessed Just one lonely cuff And a missing best [Pre-Chorus] I swear it had a twin I swear it had a name Little cotton liar Playing a hiding game [Chorus] One sock left One sock left Where’d you go, where’d you go? One sock left One sock left I’m walking in a split soul [Bridge] Maybe it fled for good Maybe it crossed the town Maybe it found a hand And settled down Still I keep that pair By the washer light Like a half-finished prayer On a Tuesday night [Chorus] One sock left One sock left Where’d you go, where’d you go? One sock left One sock left I’m walking in a split soul
