[Verse 1] Coat on the back of that empty chair Lipstick stain on a crumpled glass Your laugh still hangs in the quiet air Time moves, but it tiptoes past
[Chorus] You’re gone, but the room remembers Every low word, every soft reply I drink to the ghost of September And talk to your shadow till I cry Still talking to your shadow till I cry
[Verse 2] Street noise fades to a distant hum I hear your keys in the hallway door I turn, I swear that I see you come It’s just my heart on the kitchen floor
[Chorus] You’re gone, but the room remembers Every low word, every soft reply I drink to the ghost of September And talk to your shadow till I cry Still talking to your shadow till I cry
[Bridge] Maybe tomorrow I’ll clear this place Fold up your sweater, erase your name But every corner holds your face And every silence sounds the same
[Chorus] You’re gone, but the room remembers Every low word, every soft reply I drink to the ghost of September And talk to your shadow till I cry Still talking to your shadow till I cry
