10 Things Left Behind S1E 6: “The Woman in the Yellow Coat”

[INTRO] [Soft rain, distant piano] [VERSE 1] She walked beneath the streetlights Like she knew where she was going Yellow coat against the darkness Red umbrella slowly closing She stopped beside a blue mailbox And looked across the avenue For a moment I was certain She was looking straight at you [CHORUS] Who is the woman in the yellow coat? Why does she always appear At the edge of every memory I’ve carried through the years? She never says a word to me She only waits and disappears Who is the woman in the yellow coat? And who was she waiting for? [VERSE 2] I followed her through midnight Past the house with number seventeen The upstairs light was burning Though the windows showed no one She left the red umbrella By the doorway in the rain Then touched the old photograph And whispered someone’s name [PRE-CHORUS] I couldn’t hear the name But somehow I knew It was the name I had been trying to remember [CHORUS] Who is the woman in the yellow coat? Why does she know the way? Why does every road I travel Lead me back to yesterday? She pointed toward the station Where the final train had gone Then disappeared beneath the rain Before I could ask her why [BRIDGE] Maybe she isn’t waiting Maybe she’s letting go Maybe she’s the part of me I was never meant to know [FINAL CHORUS] The woman in the yellow coat Left something by the door A train ticket dated seventeen years ago And nothing more I turned it over slowly There was writing on the back: “11:17. Don’t forget.” [OUTRO] [Rain fades]
