[Verse 1]
Your coat's still on my chair
Rain in the glass again
You said you'd call me back
Now it's just me and the wind
The spoon makes tiny circles
In the cup of gone-cold black
I keep your name in my mouth
Then I let it slip back
[Pre-Chorus]
I watch the door
Like it'll change
But every step
Still sounds the same
My hands don't know
What to do now
They trace the rim
And drift back down
[Chorus]
Don't go gentle now
Don't leave me here
Stay in the smoke
Stay near, stay near
Don't go gentle now
I still can feel
Your broken smile
Against my skin (stay near)
[Verse 2]
The ash is long and pale
Like a street at closing time
Your lipstick on the rim
Draws a line I can't unwind
I hear a trumpet cry
From a room down the hall
It bends the dark just enough
To make me miss you more
[Pre-Chorus]
I watch the door
Like it'll change
But every step
Still sounds the same
My hands don't know
What to do now
They trace the rim
And drift back down
[Chorus]
Don't go gentle now
Don't leave me here
Stay in the smoke
Stay near, stay near
Don't go gentle now
I still can feel
Your broken smile
Against my skin (stay near)
[Bridge]
If morning comes too soon
I won't be clean
I'll wear this ache
Like a thin black seam
Let the room stay dim
Let the glass stay warm
I'll keep your ghost
Till the night is gone
[Chorus]
Don't go gentle now
Don't leave me here
Stay in the smoke
Stay near, stay near
Don't go gentle now
I still can feel
Your broken smile
Against my skin (stay near)
