Lyrics
Mm... close it soft My ring is in the dish by the sink, Next to the lemon soap and the spoon. Four in the morning, the kitchen's blue, The stove clock humming its one-note tune. Boots in my hand, stocking feet on the stair, You never raised your voice at me. You just never heard me there. So hush now, house, don't wake him, Hold your breath, old wood. I'm sorry for the hallway light, I'd stay if staying could. Close it soft, close it soft, Let the latch go down like a prayer. Bless the bed and the kind man sleeping, Tell the floorboards I was never there. Close it soft, close it soft, Frost on the gate and the moon gone thin, Let me go the way I came in. Close it soft. Your glasses folded on the page, The porch step cold as a coin. Wind chime shivering in the dark, Thirty years of a quiet I can't join. Close it soft, close it soft, Let the latch go down like a prayer. Bless the bed and the kind man sleeping, Tell the floorboards I was never there. Close it soft, close it soft, Frost on the gate and the moon gone thin, Let me go the way I came in. Close it soft. Oh, I was not afraid of you, Only of the years. Only of this same blue light Going gray without a tear. Don't call me back. Close it soft, close it soft, Bless the bed and the kind man sleeping, Tell the morning I was never there. Let me go the way I came in. Close it soft. Close it soft...
