Velvet Voice - Closer Than Before

Same book,
Same chip, blue rim.
Your coffee ring
Still on my sink.
You left your sweater
On the back of that chair.
I try to fold it up,
But it keeps you in the air.
I feel you
Closer than before,
Even when you're gone.
I feel you
Closer than before,
Even when you're gone—
Every little space you left
Pulls me like a song.
I feel you
Closer than before,
Even when you're gone.
Traffic comes through the half-closed blinds,
TVs talking low—I let it roll.
Your keys swing from the nail
By the door. But I hear you laughing
Down this quiet floor.
I feel you
Closer than before,
Even when you're gone.
I feel you
Closer than before,
Even when you're gone.
Oh, every little space you left,
It pulls me like a song.
I feel you
Closer than before,
Even when you're gone.
Maybe I'm healing, baby, I'm holding on
To footprints in the dust and echoes in
These walls. But something in this
Darkness keeps leaning toward your
Light. I close my eyes, and now you are
So real tonight.
I feel you
Closer than before,
Even when you're gone.
I feel you
Closer than before,
Even when you're gone.
Every little space you left
Still sings you all night long.
I feel you
Closer than before,
Even when you're gone.
