Winter in My Heart

You left your blue coat on the chair. The kitchen clock kept counting there. I held the sleeve against my face and tried To make the room stay in its place. I said I'd be all right by dawn. But every quiet hour Proves me wrong. If you can hear me, turn around. I'm still the voice that calls you home. I gave you every guarded part. Now there's a winter in my heart. If you can hear me, don't let go. I'm not as strong as I let show. Ooh. Your coffee cup is by the sink. I wash it then forget to drink. The neighbor's porch light clicks at ten, And I keep thinking you're coming again. I learned to hold my breath for you. Now every word comes breaking through. If you can hear me, turn around. I'm still the voice that calls you home. I gave you every guarded part. Now there's a winter in my heart. If you can hear me, don't let go. I'm not as strong as I let show. I won't keep your coat forever. I won't let this room decide. But tonight I'm standing here with your name Still on my Tongue. If you can hear me, turn around. I'm still the voice that called you home. I gave you every guarded part, But I can't mend this winter heart. If you can hear me, this I know, I'll find my strength and let you go. I'll find my Strength And let you go.
