Jacket on the Chair

Your heavy denim jacket's on the kitchen chair

(hmmm) You watch the wooden door like

it owes you money

We're parked outside the church after the Sunday prayer

No more honey left

in the jar

And the wind blows cold through the cabin screen

Why do we build a wall

out of things unseen?

(ohhh) I wanted the quiet,

you wanted the gold

But we're just waiting for the day to fold

We let the engine idle while the engine cools

We spent our little fortune playing by their rules

Now we're just two shadows in a churchyard lane (ahhh) Staring at

the dashboard pane

And the wind blows cold

through the cabin screen

Why do we build a wall out of things unseen?

(ohhh) I wanted the quiet,

you wanted the gold But we're just waiting for the day to

fold

Just a jacket on the chair (hmmm)

Watching the door
