Lyrics

Verse 1

You asked me about the room The room has a table The table has not moved The cup is on the table The cup is not blue The cup is the colour of the morning you left Which is the same morning Which is still here

Chorus

You asked me to tell you I am telling you The room is the telling The telling is the room You asked me to tell you I am telling you

Verse 2

The chair is where you left it The foam remembers your weight The window faces east East has not moved I am not being poetic The light has not changed But I am the one seeing it now And I see it differently than you saw it

Chorus

You asked me to tell you I am telling you The room is the telling The telling is the room You asked me to tell you I am telling you

Bridge

I was wrong about the cup The correction is for you The first look was mine The second look is yours The cup is the distance Between the two looks

Chorus

You asked me to tell you I am telling you The room is the telling The telling is the room You asked me to tell you I am telling you

Outro

The door closes behind me The room does not hear it You asked me to tell you I told you about the room The room is what remains
