lyrics
Back through the doors at four-thirty, rain on my coat The kettle’s gone cold on the sill by the front room’s throat Your name’s still on the post by the cracked green tile But the chair by the window’s turned toward the aisle I knew the shape of the hallway, the squeak in the floor Now every step lands wrong and nobody’s keeping score The nail by the sink still waits with one rusted ring I stood there a minute, then heard nothing sing I came back I came back I came back I came back The lock won’t turn for me Nan’s old mugs in the sink, three chips in the rim My photo’s face down in a drawer gone dim The notice on the board says the room’s been taken in May And the boy at the desk said, “You missed your day” I came back I came back I came back I came back The lock won’t turn for me At seven past six, I left by the side gate slow Carpet glue on my shoes, damp cuffs to show No one called after me, no curtain shook Just my own steps under a half-closed book I came back I came back I came back I came back The lock won’t turn for me
