lyrics
I dropped my coat on the chair by the door Seven at night, still damp on the floor It got the cab smoke from the ride home And I let it sit there, I let it stay on The cuffs got salt from the East River air Red lipstick on the collar, I saw it right there You asked, “Are you washing that?” with a grin I said, “Not tonight,” and I went back in I see the sleeve, I see the seam Caught in the lamp like a scene You want it clean, you want it gone But I keep one stain on Leave it there Leave it there Leave it there Leave it there I want the whole thing showing Morning came fast with the kettle and toast I stepped over it like a joke at most The tag still hangs from the thrift-store thread And the chair holds my secret where the coat was spread You fold your hands like, “Come on, babe” But I like the wrinkle, I like the shape A little dark mark on a good white wall That jacket says I lived through it all I see the sleeve, I see the seam Caught in the lamp like a scene You want it clean, you want it gone But I keep one stain on Leave it there Leave it there Leave it there Leave it there I want the whole thing showing Midnight, 23rd and Lex I drag the chair an inch to the left You can scrub the floor, you can wipe that pane But that coat stays wild in its own small frame Leave it there Leave it there Leave it there Leave it there I want the whole thing showing
