Lyrics

There's a key in the lining
Of a coat I never wear
To a white house by the feed mill
With a porch gone grey from years
I don't miss the man who lived there
I miss who I was before
It's the key I kept
To the door I closed
Cold in my hand
When the night turns old
I don't want the house
I don't want him back
But some things leave you slowly
Even when you leave them fast
It's the key I kept
I have held it to the lamplight
Like it owed me an answer
But its teeth know one old doorway
And the lock has long been changed
Metal doesn't hold a memory
Still my fingers know the turn
Tonight I set it on the table
Watched the moon move down the wall
By the time the dark was leaving
It was only metal after all
It was the key I kept
To the door I closed
Cold in my hand
When the night turned old
I don't want the house
I don't want him back
Some things leave you slowly
Even when you leave them fast
By morning it was only
The key I kept
