Verse 1

Your blue coat hangs behind the door

One sleeve still folded like before

The kettle clicks, the room stays still

I leave your cup beside the sill

Chorus

I keep a place for you in the quiet

A little space the days pass by

If you come back, you’ll know where to find it

I never learned to say goodbye

Verse 2

The garden gate swings in the wind

I hear its old familiar hinge again

Your note is tucked beneath the bowl

A few plain words I know by heart

Chorus

I keep a place for you in the quiet
