The Table

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You clean the piles for the last dinner party They found their way back to cover the wood Bills needing paid and my old missing glasses Coffee cup rings and your half-read book Scratches and stains from the memories you gave me A little left over from yesterday's meal I still remember the mark from the kettle When you set it down without saying "Hot thing" [Chorus] All of this time I know I have been quiet But I've been here holding your hand Holding your hand [Verse 2] I smell the coffee It's early this morning There must be somewhere That you need to go Nervous, you put on your coat in the hallway I wonder what's waiting behind the door [Chorus] All of this time I know I have been quiet All of this time I know I've been quiet All of this time I know I have been quiet But I've been right here holding your hand
