The coffee’s gone cold beside me There’s traffic in the rain Then something loosens in my chest Uh-huh, here it comes again My fingers find the rhythm My foot moves on the floor I had a thought of giving up I don’t have it anymore The phone keeps ringing I close my eyes Let it ring… Just one more time There it is… There it is… A shiver down my spine The clock keeps on turning The moment’s all mine The morning gets its hours The world gets its due Perfection never lasts It washes right through There it goes… There it goes… Sweet memories of you The rain runs down the window Branches sway and bend I lost a battle between two thoughts And let go the loose ends My jacket’s on the chair My keys beside the door The things I meant to do tonight Can wait a little more The phone keeps ringing I close my eyes Let it ring… Just one more time There it is… There it is… A shiver down my spine The clock keeps on turning The moment’s all mine The morning gets its hours The world gets its due Perfection never lasts It washes right through There it goes… There it goes… Sweet memories of you The room comes back The light shines through I take a breath… Still warm from you The first light breaks the darkness The street is turning gray I lift my jacket from the chair And let you slip away My hand rests on the handle I turn to kill the light The day can have the rest of me I had it all last night The phone starts ringing I close my eyes Let it ring… One more time There it goes… A shiver down my spine Heart keeps on burning The moment’s all mine The morning gets its hours The world gets its due Perfection never lasts It washes right through There it goes… There it goes… Sweet memories of you There it goes… There it goes… Sweet memories of you Yeah… That oughta get me through the day.
