Lyric

Rain on the pane

And a hush in the room

One mute brass line

Finds me before you

I set your glass down slow

By the edge of the sink

Gold in the shadow

Blue in the drink

Your coat still on the chair

Like it knows how to wait

I trace the last note

As it trembles in place

And I hear it call

Through the soft falling dark

A little bent phrase

Right under my heart

It reaches for me

Then it slips away

Muted trumpet tears

Carry me home

Muted trumpet tears

Leave me alone

Play my name once more

Then let it fade

Muted trumpet tears

All I have today

The clock keeps its distance

With a patient old face

I fold up the silence

You left in this space

Your goodbye was gentle

But gentle can break

So I let one long note

Pull me under the gray

And it circles back

Like a bird in the rain

That small bent answer

To all of my pain

It bends, then it bends

Till it knows my name

Muted trumpet tears

Carry me home

Muted trumpet tears

Leave me alone

Play my name once more

Then let it fade

Muted trumpet tears

All I have today

If I held that phrase

In the palm of my hand

Would it warm the cold parts

Would it help me stand

I don't need forever

Just one honest sound

To keep me from sinking

When you're not around

Muted trumpet tears

Carry me home

Muted trumpet tears

Leave me alone

Play my name once more

Then let it fade

Muted trumpet tears

All I have today

Rain on the pane

And a hush in the room

One mute brass line

Still walking me through
