You left your coffee cup
By the sink all week
I keep it where you set it
Like it might still speak
The screen door slams at dusk
When the west wind turns
I count the nails in the table
And the little place it burns
I tried to move the chair
Tried to mop the stain
But the floor keeps your steps
Like it knows your name
And I stand in that frame
Where your shadow was
Porch light ashes
All that’s left of us
Porch light ashes
Blowin’in the dust
I still say your name
To the empty yard
Porch light ashes
Burnin’in my heart
Your denim jacket hangs
On the back of the door
Got a torn right sleeve
And a hole near the seam
I found your ring in a jar
With the screws and keys
And the dog still waits
At the chain by the trees
I could pack these boxes
Take ’em down the road
But this house knows the truth
I’m the one who won’t go
So I lean on the rail
Till the night gives in
Porch light ashes
All that’s left of us
Porch light ashes
Blowin’in the dust
I still say your name
To the empty yard
Porch light ashes
Burnin’in my heart
If you hear me out there
On a hard wind line
I’m still on this porch
At quitting time
With a crooked old prayer
And a worn-out grin
Let the dark take the rest
I’ll be here again
Porch light ashes
All that’s left of us
Porch light ashes
Blowin’in the dust
I still say your name
To the empty yard
Porch light ashes
Burnin’in my heart
