lyrics

You left your scarf on my chair

Blue wool on the back of it

I folded it into squares

And put your cup in the sink

Tuesday, half past seven

The kettle made that thin scream

Your name sat on my phone

Like wet rain on the screen

I watched the red light blink

Then the room went still

No message, no excuse

Just the drain by the sill

Quietly gone, quietly gone

Quietly gone, quietly gone

No call came through

No call came through

Quietly gone, quietly gone

Your train left Connolly slow

I stood by the chipped grey wall

Your boots made little marks

In the slush by the station hall

I kept the stub from the café

Sugar in the paper cup

At nine, I let it ring

And I knew then what was up

The screen stayed cold and white

On the quilt at my feet

I heard the pipes in the flat

And your silence in the street

Quietly gone, quietly gone

Quietly gone, quietly gone

No call came through

No call came through

Quietly gone, quietly gone

I put your scarf in a drawer

Beside my old bus pass

The mirror held my face

For a minute, then it passed

I did not beg the night

I did not beg your voice

The worst part of the ending

Was how small it was

Quietly gone, quietly gone

Quietly gone, quietly gone

No call came through

No call came through

Quietly gone, quietly gone
