The Road Keeps Its Own Address

Verse 1

Blue bag under the counter label wearing thin rain got into the postcode but the road still lets it in

Pre-Chorus

She smooths it down twice like that could make it stay one more failed delivery one more Wednesday

Chorus

The road keeps its own address even when the names move on blue paper, brown counter somebody nearly gone

Verse 2

Five lines under the tape old ink below the new if she writes, I will answer if she forgets, I will too there is no full stop after gone

Bridge

Nobody says home not out loud the shutter hums the printer cools down

Final Chorus

The road keeps its own address even when the names move on blue paper, brown counter somebody nearly gone the road keeps its own address and carries what it can

Outro

She smooths it down twice then gives it back again
