Verse 1

Your blue cup sits beside the sink

A ring of tea has dried to brown

I still reach out before I think

Then let my hand come slowly down

Pre-Chorus

The hallway clock keeps missing time

Or maybe I just lost the beat

I hear your key turn in my mind

But no one’s coming up the street

Chorus

I keep your place beside the window

Though the winter’s coming through

Every quiet thing remembers

How the room belonged to you

I can close the door at midnight

I can turn the whole house blue

But the silence knows your name
