Still-Life in a Doorway

Give me a little air

And I’ll give you back the keys

Down a whole flight of stairs

It means nothing new to me

In small enough a space

I Haven’t heard a single sound

There’s nothing for me to say

When I know you’re not around

Gray clouds and rain

To the sun will give way

Tonight always waits

And even now

You will find me somehow

And you’ll bring me home

In life monochrome

All your colors have shone on through.

I locked myself inside

Shelter from my world unwound

But it’s a prison glorified

When I know you’re not around

Gray clouds and rain

To the sun will give way

Tonight always waits

And even now

You will find me somehow

And you’ll bring me home

In life monochrome

All your colors have shone on through.

The window shades are drawn

When life becomes unsound

But you will always carry on

When I know you’re not around
