Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Found it in the sleeve Hard to quite believe Paper thin and gray From a distant day Folded once or twice Cold as winter ice Worn out at the hem I am holding them [Pre-Chorus] Ink is running low Where did they go? A shadow on the page Showing every age [Chorus] Two percent milk and rye Underneath a heavy sky A life I'll never know In the pocket's steady glow Just a stranger's chore Walking through the door [Post-Chorus] Milk and rye Heavy sky Walking through the door [Verse] Apples on the list Moments that were missed Cedar and the pine In this coat of mine Buttons made of bone Left here all alone Cereal and some tea Who were they to be? [Chorus] Two percent milk and rye Underneath a heavy sky A life I'll never know In the pocket's steady glow Just a stranger's chore Walking through the door [Bridge] Did the coffee taste sweet? On that quiet street? Was the morning very cold? Before the story was told? Now the paper is mine A bridge across the line [Verse] Pencil marks so light Fading in the white Bread and butter too Passed from them to you I'll keep it in the fold A story never told [Chorus] Two percent milk and rye Underneath a heavy sky A life I'll never know In the pocket's steady glow Just a stranger's chore Walking through the door [Post-Chorus] Just a stranger's chore Walking through the door Milk and rye Heavy sky [Outro]
