[Verse 1] You left your blue coat on the kitchen chair Rain in the pockets, silver in your hair I warmed the room but kept the window wide Some part of me still thought you’d change your mind [Pre-Chorus] The kettle clicked, the hallway clock moved slow There are some things a quiet house will know [Chorus] stay a little distance time ln the doorway Let the cold wait outside I have spent these years learning your silence And tonight, I understand why If tomorrow takes you from me I will carry what was true When the last cup cools beside me I’ll still be here with you Learning that time past by You leaving with out even telling how to past drifting time so if you never come its time that really not coming back to stay and reminisce my mind last thing i remember and cherish........... [Verse 2] Your photograph is curling at the frame The corner where you stood has kept your shape I found the receipt from that small café Two coffees, one pastry, and a whole day [Pre-Chorus] You laughed at how the waiter said my name I’d give a lot to hear that wrong again [Chorus] stay a little distance time ln the doorway Let the cold wait outside I have spent these years learning your silence And tonight, I understand why If tomorrow takes you from me I will carry what was true When the last cup cools beside me I’ll still be here with you Learning that time past by You leaving with out even telling how to past drifting time so if you never come its time that really not coming back to stay and reminisce my mind last thing i remember and cherish........... [Bridge] No promise needs a polished ending No bell needs to ring Some love survives by quietly Refusing everything [Final Chorus] stay a little distance time ln the doorway Let the cold wait outside I have spent these years learning your silence And tonight, I understand why If tomorrow takes you from me I will carry what was true When the last cup cools beside me I’ll still be here with you Learning that time past by You leaving with out even telling how to past drifting time so if you never come its time that really not coming back to stay and reminisce my mind last thing i remember and cherish........... [Outro] The blue coat waits on the kitchen chair The room grows still I leave the window there
