Sun In An Empty Room Lyrics - The Weakerthans

Now that the furniture's returning to its goodwill home 

With dishes and last week's paper 

Rumors and elections 

Crosswords and an unending wars 

The black in our fingers 

Smeared their prints on every door pulled shut 

Now that the last month's rent is scheming 

With the damage deposit 

Take this moment to decide 

(Sun in an empty room) 

If we meant it, if we tried 

(Sun in an empty room) 

Or felt around for far too much 

(Sun in an empty room) 

From things that accidentally touched 

(Sun in an empty room) 

Hands that we nearly hold 

With pennies for the GST 

The shoulders we lean our shoulders 

Into on the subway, mutter an apology 

The shins that we kick 

Beneath the table, that reflexive cry 

The faces we meet, one awkward beat 

Too long and terrified 

Know the things we need to say 

(Sun in an empty room) 

Then said already anyways 

(Sun in an empty room) 

By parallelograms of light 

(Sun in an empty room) 

On walls that we repainted white 

(Sun in an empty room) 

Sun in an empty room 

Sun in an empty room 

Sun in an empty room 

Sun in an empty room 

Sun in an empty room 

Sun in an empty room 

Sun in an empty room 

Sun in an empty room 

Take eight minutes and divide 

(Sun in an empty room) 

By ninety million lonely miles 

(Sun in an empty room) 

And watch the shadow cross the floor 

(Sun in an empty room) 

We don't live here anymore 

(Sun in an empty room)
