Grief Dont Knock It Just Moves In

Intro Grief turned the key I never gave

Verse 1 He hung his coat on my front door Drank the coffee black and cold Moved my chair against the wall Rearranged the things I hold He don't pay and he don't leave Sleeps on my side of the bed Reads the mail before I do And answers in my dead wife's stead

Pre-Chorus He don't ask and he don't go He just spreads out room to room

Chorus Grief don't knock, it just moves in Hangs its hat and settles in Drinks your cup and takes your chair And it's still there, it's still there

Verse 2 He set a place for the empty side Lit the lamp she used to light Folded laundry that don't fit And left it warm against the night He whistles in the kitchen now Knows the squeak in every stair The mortgage came back in his name And the porch lamp's his to bear

Pre-Chorus He don't ask and he don't go He just spreads out room to room

Chorus Grief don't knock, it just moves in Hangs its hat and settles in Drinks your cup and takes your chair And it's still there, it's still there

Bridge I tried to put him out at dawn Boxed his things and changed the lock He was waiting in the truck With my keys and my own clock Grief don't knock, it just moves in Hangs its hat and settles in Drinks your cup and takes your chair And it's still there, it's still there

Outro It's still there, it's still there
