Original lyric sketch · Fictional voice · Lyrics only · The honest caption
Verse
A pencil on the table,
a window holding light;
I wrote down the cropped doorway
and let the words sit overnight.
Refrain
Beyond the frame the light belongs to somewhere else.
Let the room keep breathing.
Let the words arrive.
Leave a little space for what is still alive.
