歌詞

A shelf of friends is waiting there

Which one will it be

I walk my fingers down the shelf

Like keys upon a scale

Each cover is a little door

Each door, a little tale

The heavy ones can wait there

Tonight I'll travel light

I choose the soft and dog-eared one

That knows my hands by heart

A rainy day deserves a book

That's played its every part

The cover's creased, the pages breathe

A smell of quiet years

An old receipt still marks the place

Where someone left their tears

A lamp unto my evening

A light upon my chair

I choose the soft and dog-eared one

That knows my hands by heart

A rainy day deserves a book

That's played its every part

There's one Book on the lowest shelf

That never wears away

Its words have walked a thousand rains

And still know what to say

Mmm... mmm... mmm

I choose the soft and dog-eared one

That knows my hands by heart

A rainy day deserves a book

That's played its every part

I choose the soft and dog-eared one

That knows my hands by heart

A rainy day deserves a book

That's played its every part

A shelf of friends stood waiting there

And one came home with me
