Old Letters in the Stove - David Rose
Lyrics by:David Rose
Composed by:David Rose
Produced by:David Rose
Found your letters in the stovepipe
Curled up like they tried to hide
Ash on every promise
Ink bled where you said you'd try
Coffee gone cold on the table
Sun stuck behind the rain
My hands still shake at your handwriting
Like it knows the shape of pain
I keep burnin' these old letters
But the words won't leave my mind
Smoke goes out the chimney
Still your name stays trapped inside
I strike another match to forget you
Watch our past turn into coal
But these old letters in the stove
Read themselves out loud to my soul
Mmm
Your coat still hangs in the hallway
Button missing
Thread pulled thin
Smells like last November
And the day you wandered in
Clock on the wall keeps limpin'
Same way my heart comes through
Time moves on in circles
Always draggin' back to you
I keep burnin' these old letters
But the words won't leave my mind
Smoke goes out the chimney
Still your name stays trapped inside
I strike another match to forget you
Watch our past turn into coal
But these old letters in the stove
Read themselves out loud to my soul
Oh my soul
Maybe love is just a fire
You feed 'til you disappear
Maybe I'm just talkin'
To the smoke and nothin' here
But I light that paper slowly
Hear it sigh before it goes
Every baby you ever called me
Rises up and curls my toes
I keep burnin' these old letters
But the words won't leave my mind
Smoke goes out the chimney
Still your name stays trapped inside
I strike another match to forget you
Watch our past turn into coal
But these old letters in the stove
Read themselves out loud to my soul
I found your letters in the stovepipe
And I can't let go
Can't let go
Found your letters in the stovepipe
And I can't let go
Can't let go
