Blue Piano Key
Walber Costa
I found your key in my coat
Still warm from your hand
On the yellow bus home
I pressed it in my palm
The rain hit the window slow
Like a thought I couldn't keep
And your name in my mouth
Went quiet, then fell deep
Your cup sits by the sink
Cracked on the rim
I leave it there on purpose
Like you might come back in
The clock in the hall keeps time
But I don't hear it move
Just the house breathing low
And the space you left for you
I turn the light down low
Let the room go blue
Every little thing I touch
Brings me back to you
Don't let go, don't let go
Hold me in the afterglow
Don't let go, don't let go
I still feel you in my bones
If you call, if you call
I will answer, even then
Don't let go, don't let go
Let me find you once again
Now the late drums come in soft
Like steps on the floor
And the guitar leaves a trace
At the edge of the door
I can almost say I'm fine
Almost let it pass
But your ghost sits by my side
And the night leans back
I turn the light down low
Let the room go blue
Every little thing I touch
Brings me back to you
Don't let go, don't let go
Hold me in the afterglow
Don't let go, don't let go
I still feel you in my bones
If you call, if you call
I will answer, even then
Don't let go, don't let go
Let me find you once again
If this is where we end
Leave the door unlatched
I won't ask for forever
Just one shadow of the past
Don't let go, don't let go
Hold me in the afterglow
Don't let go, don't let go
I still feel you in my bones
If you call, if you call
I will answer, even then
Don't let go, don't let go
Let me find you once again
Blue piano key
On my tongue
Let it fade
Let it come
