The Wool Lining

[Intro]
[Verse]
Sorting through the winter stack
Trying not to look back
Dust motes in the yellow light
Keeping out the chill tonight
Wool and heavy corduroy
Once a girl and once a boy
[Verse]
Found a heavy charcoal grey
You wore it every single day
Reaching deep inside the hem
Fingers find a paper stem
Crumpled edges, faded ink
Giving me the time to think
[Pre-Chorus]
The tape is spinning in the dark
Looking for a tiny spark
But the fire is long since dead
Just the words we never said
[Chorus]
It’s just a ticket from a play
From a cold and distant day
Nothing left for us to say
Watching shadows fade to grey
We went our separate way
[Post-Chorus]
Just a separate way
Watching it fade to grey
[Verse]
Three months since the quiet end
No more messages to send
You just left the keys behind
Left the static in my mind
Now this coat belongs to someone new
Someone who won't search for you
[Chorus]
It’s just a ticket from a play
From a cold and distant day
Nothing left for us to say
Watching shadows fade to grey
We went our separate way
[Bridge]
The upright bass is humming low
Cello swells begin to grow
No grand exits at the door
Nothing broken on the floor
We don't need it anymore
No, we don't need it anymore
[Breakdown]
[Chorus]
It’s just a ticket from a play
From a cold and distant day
Nothing left for us to say
Watching shadows fade to grey
We went our separate way
[Post-Chorus]
Such a soft relief
Beyond my own belief
[Outro]
