lyrics
Your jacket on the chair by the sink Sleeve turned out, collar gone soft I hung it there after the rain At half past six, with the kettle off I meant to wash it Tuesday night But the basin sat full to the brim Now the cuffs hold the road and the grass And your perfume still lives in the trim I saw your name in the hem When I lifted it slow from the seat The buttons tapped on the wood Like a tired little beat Leave it be, leave it be Leave it be, leave it be Let it keep your rain Leave it be, leave it be Your jacket on the chair by the range Beside the mug with the chipped blue lip I folded the sleeves back in Then let them fall with a slip You’d laugh at the soap by the door And the towel hanging cold and pale But I kept that old coat dirty for you Like a note pinned under the nail The Galway dusk came in grey Through the pane by the tins on the shelf I stood with the water and stared Like I’d caught you there by myself Leave it be, leave it be Leave it be, leave it be Let it keep your rain Leave it be, leave it be If you come back for the coat I’ll put the pail by the fire I’ll hand you the sleeves still damp And say I was thinking of you a while Leave it be, leave it be Leave it be, leave it be Let it keep your rain Leave it be, leave it be
