The Chair on the Pavement

Verse 1

There's a chair on the pavement Facing the road A note on the seat says *It holds. Take it home.* I fixed it last winter When the leg gave way The glue was the cheap kind It held anyway

Chorus

Take it, take it It holds, it holds The chair is not mine anymore Take it, take it The road is long But the seat is warm at the door

Verse 2

A woman stopped walking She read the note twice She sat on the seat And she tested the price She carried it home Past the last streetlight The man watched from the window And turned out the light

Chorus

Take it, take it It holds, it holds The chair is not mine anymore Take it, take it The road is long But the seat is warm at the door

Bridge

The pavement is empty The light is still on The chair has a new home And the man has a song He doesn't know her name She doesn't know his But the chair holds them both The way a road holds a wish

Chorus

Take it, take it It holds, it holds The chair is not mine anymore Take it, take it The road is long But the seat is warm at the door

Outro

The seat is warm The seat is warm At the door
