[Verse 1] You left your ring on the sink Like a moon in a glass of milk I wore that silence all week Till it cut through me like silk Your coat still leans in the hall Smelling like rain and ash I keep your name on my tongue Like a coin I can’t spend back [Pre-Chorus] And I tried to wash it off With hot water and hymns But the stain just sank in deeper Every time I let it in [Chorus] Come back, come back To the blackwater Come back, come back I’m still waiting there You know my hands They still remember Come back, come back To the blackwater [Verse 2] The kettle screams in the dark I stand there, feet in the tile Counting the cracks in the wall Like they know me by name Your old key in the bowl Makes a small, savage sound When I turn it in my palm I can hear you leave now [Pre-Chorus] And I tried to breathe it out Tried to laugh with the dead But your shadow keeps its posture At the foot of my bed [Chorus] Come back, come back To the blackwater Come back, come back I’m still waiting there You know my hands They still remember Come back, come back To the blackwater [Bridge] If I burn every letter If I empty the drawer If I sleep with the window open Would you haunt me anymore? I don’t need your mercy I don’t need your name I just need the night to loosen I just need the ache [Final Chorus] Come back, come back To the blackwater Come back, come back I’m still waiting there You know my hands They still remember Come back, come back To the blackwater Come back, come back Let it take me under Come back, come back If you still care You know my heart It still remembers Come back, come back To the blackwater
