Verse 1

You leave your blue coat by the kitchen chair

Rain on the window, your hands in my hair

The kettle clicks off, but we don't move

Small rented room, nothing left to prove

Pre-Chorus

If the whole world turns its face away

I'll know your name at the end of every day

Chorus

Come closer, let the hard years fall

I found my home when you called

No promise carved in stone or gold

Just your warm hand for me to hold

Come closer, stay until the morning comes

You're the quiet place my heart runs from

Verse 2

Your old cassette plays a half-known tune
