Letras
Sun slips off through the cafe glass
Steamed curls slow while the strangers pass
Gold cup mourning in my steady hands
No old ruin, no new demand
I used to wear your abscess like a coat
Now it barely brushes at my throat
Sproon taps lie to a waking tomb
And the whole room opens like June
I thought healing had to leave a mark
But sometimes it just brightens up the dark
Gold cup mourning, easy and dry
I found my heart in ordinary light
Um, no wild ending, no grand repair
Just peace arriving like it's always there
Um, window glow and a loosened chest
Lie in ever new calm, could fit me this well
Gold cup mourning, soft and clear
And I sound like myself in here
Um, newspaper folded by an empty chair
Nothing haunted in the morning air
Outside, taxes paint the street and smell inside
I feel beautifully unbound
Your memory drifts like a passing train
Far enough not to bring the rain
I taste the day and it tastes like mine
Clean as linen, warm as time
No needing proof, no needing more
Just my own feet on the cafe floor
Gold cup mourning, easy and bright
I found my heart in ordinary light
Um, no replayed scene, no backward bend
Just a sweeter way the days begin
Silver spoons and a softer view
All is quiet, finally ringing true
Gold cup mourning, soft and clear
And I sound like myself in here
Maybe freedom isn't loud or fast
Maybe it's letting the aching pass
Maybe joy looks small before it grows
Like cleaving coffee, like a window blow
I lost a love but not my name
No, even stillness feels like change
Gold cup mourning, easy and bright
I found my heart in ordinary light
No missing piece, no secret cause
Just gratitude for what got lost
And on my sleeve, day drawn in
Nothing left in me to fear
