lyrics
(a screen door swings and settles) I still brew coffee for two cups Muscle memory don't grow up I pour yours out along the fence The roses never took offense (no offense) Forty years of mornings, gone (gone, gone) The dog still waits for you at dawn One chair on the porch tonight One chair in the failing light One chair, and I take the stair One chair — yours — I won't sit there (won't sit there) Your garden gloves still hold your shape Dried mud I can't bring myself to scrape The tomatoes came in this year Biggest we've grown. You'd want to hear. (you'd want to know) They say that time will dull the blade It hasn't — it just learned its trade (learned its trade) One chair on the porch tonight One chair in the failing light One chair, and I take the stair One chair — yours — I won't sit there (won't sit there) Goodnight, Rose. (the screen door settles)
