Glass Orchard

In the ferry town

I kept your matchbook

Under my tongue

Like a small bad prayer

The arcade shut down

But the coins stayed warm

In my coat pocket

All the way home

And I saw your face

In the rain on glass

I said your name

Too late, too soft

The night kept turning

Like a key in salt

I should've stopped

I should've stayed

Don’t let me go

Don’t let me go

I was there and I broke it

I was there and I know it

Don’t let me go

Don’t let me go

(hold me under)

I still hear the door

The greenroom mirror

Kept my dead-eyed ghost

While your red scarf

Hung from the chair

I drank the silence

From a paper cup

And every sip

Tasted like blame

And I saw your face

In the ashtray glow

I bit my lip

Till the fever passed

The night kept turning

Like a key in salt

I should've called

I should've come

Don’t let me go

Don’t let me go

I was there and I broke it

I was there and I know it

Don’t let me go

Don’t let me go

(hold me under)

I still hear the door

In the black canal

All my bright mistakes

Float belly-up

With their silver mouths

If you still dream

Put me in the flood

Let the cold take

What I couldn't love

Don’t let me go

Don’t let me go

I was there and I broke it

I was there and I know it

Don’t let me go

Don’t let me go

(take me back now)

I still hear the door
