lyrics

There was a light up in your window
Though I knew you weren’t there
In the morning I saw you leaving
Like the one that never cared

Now there’s others at your table
Neath kitchen smells of leaves of tea
Before sleep comes they close the curtains
Where your lover’s bed used to be

I don’t know what makes me go back
Wait for you down in the hall
Maybe to heal whatever’s hurting
Or to make some sense of it all
Out here on the streets before the fall

Heard a bird say you are returning
At least some twist inside your head
Maybe you’re tired of all your hiding
Want to risk a heart again instead

So you return to roads and highways
To early rain on a summer’s day
To time before you packed your life
And left with nothing more to say
On you went, forever on your way

In times of need you’re coming back
Or thought of things you forgot to steal
But what’s left is an empty promise
Still your only thing that’s real

So whenever at this door you stand
Don’t expect these eyes to show
I’m still holding up my bargain’s end
You let yours go long ago
Too long ago

I don’t know why you came back
Maybe to hear my voice’s call
I won’t let you ruin one more thing
Please forget about them all
They’re lost on the streets before the fall
