Original lyric sketch · Fictional voice · Lyrics only · The table as a notebook
Verse
Under the ordinary lamp
a quieter line comes through:
the words of the table conversation
have a little work to do.
Refrain
There is a little room beside the plate for one more word.
Let the room keep breathing.
Let the words arrive.
Leave a little space for what is still alive.
