[Verse 1]
I left my coat on the kitchen chair
Still smells like rain and your perfume there
The kettle went cold by half past two
I kept one cup waiting, thinking of you
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the floorboards know my name
Every room repeats the blame
[Chorus]
I got a heart full of unpaid sorrow
A little less faith for tomorrow
If mercy comes knocking, let it come slow
I been carrying your goodbye everywhere I go
[Verse 2]
Your photograph leans by the window glass
Sun on your smile, dust on the past
I found your note in an old blue book
Read it once, then I couldn't look
[Pre-Chorus]
There’s a bell somewhere in the dark
Calling this tired soul back to the start
[Chorus]
I got a heart full of unpaid sorrow
A little less faith for tomorrow
If mercy comes knocking, let it come slow
I been carrying your goodbye everywhere I go
[Bridge]
Brother, don’t tell me the river runs clean
Sister, don’t promise the wound will leave
I’ve knelt at the edge of a borrowed prayer
But your empty side of the bed is still there
[Chorus]
I got a heart full of unpaid sorrow
A little less faith for tomorrow
If mercy comes knocking, let it come slow
I been carrying your goodbye everywhere I go
[Outro]
Let it come slow
Let it come slow
I’m still here, but I’m not whole
