lyrics

Was barely there in time
A change of clothes in the suitcase
At least I saw you see me as the door closed
Now the sky starts to swerve
And the shepherd of my nightmares
Assembles himself just outside the window

Your old leather chair
Nobody dares sit there
Scared they might disturb your ghost at rest
And the benefit of the doubt
Doesn't seem so noble now
With me in this empty house

I had barely been asleep
I dreamed that you dropped your suitcase
As if you simply changed the place you live now
More angry than I miss you
And I can't control all my movements
I keep saying things that I know I'll never live down

But it's so nice to see
How every time you're smiling
Though I can't ever seem to show my best
You were taller than all my doubts
You were wrong, but damn I'm proud
How we filled out this empty house

But you wanted to say you'd passed their test
For the people who let you down
To say you were a good man
