What Elephant? - The Jane Hotel (feat. Jin Mitsui) Lyrics

This empty room
My memories laid bare
The last sight of you
From atop the stairs
Rumpled white linen
Your scent on the pillow
The old silver Hudson
Rolling past my window

I wish I'd held you close dear
So long as time was willing
And never spoke
Those frigid words
That melted with your leaving

Within your air
Retracing steps
Back to the place
Your soul was left
Imprinted on cracked
Wooden lines
A hollow form
For me to find

So if I while the day away
Reaching for your silent ghost
'twas just to live
One moment more
In prayer and dreams
Huddled close
