I left your coat on the chair
By the cracked back door
Your coffee ring still there
On the old wood floor
I counted tiles in the hall
Till my chest went cold
Your name in my throat
Like a story told
And I keep that match
But I don't strike it
I keep your ghost
But I can't like it
Ashes in the glass
Ashes in the glass
I sip and let it pass
Ashes in the glass
(ashes in the glass)
The clock in the room
Won't say what it knows
It leans on the dark
Then it lets me go
I tried to sleep it off
Tried to lock the ache
But every empty line
Feels like your mistake
And I keep that match
But I don't strike it
I keep your ghost
But I can't like it
Ashes in the glass
Ashes in the glass
I sip and let it pass
Ashes in the glass
(ashes in the glass)
If you ever call
I'll be standing still
With the same torn heart
And the same cheap will
Ashes in the glass
Ashes in the glass
I sip and let it pass
Ashes in the glass
(ashes in the glass)
