lyrics

I opened the room at noon

And saw two chairs by the wall

One had my tea-ring stain

The other stood plain and tall

I checked the key in my hand

The fan kept turning slow

No one laughed in the hall

No one came to go

One more chair

One more chair

One more chair

One more chair

And nobody said a word

The blue tin box was shut

Beside the steel water jug

Your slippers lined the mat

Still, that extra chair stayed snug

I moved the curtain aside

The window latch was tight

The ceiling had one yellow mark

The second chair held light

One more chair

One more chair

One more chair

One more chair

And nobody said a word

I dragged it near the table

Its legs made one dry sound

It fit between the salt jar

And the cracked cup on the ground

One more chair

One more chair

One more chair

One more chair

And nobody said a word
