Blue Hour Letters

[Verse 1] At blue hour, I sit still Ink dries unevenly One page folded twice Names lined up neatly Balcony light on my sleeve City windows wake One by one they flicker on While I write the date I don't send them out I don't need your reply I just want the facts To sit in the right light [Pre-Chorus] What was said What was guessed What was mine What was left I keep it plain I keep it clean So the ache Can't blur the scene [Chorus] Blue hour letters Blue hour letters I name it all, I name it slow Blue hour letters Blue hour letters Just the truth On the page, then I let it go [Verse 2] I write how you turned away How I stayed too long How the kitchen chair went cold How the air went wrong No drama in the margin No saint, no villain line Just the way a small goodbye Can divide a life The pen skips once Then finds its way I watch the letters darken As the window panes turn gray [Pre-Chorus] What was said What was guessed What was mine What was left I keep it plain I keep it clean So the ache Can't blur the scene [Chorus] Blue hour letters Blue hour letters I name it all, I name it slow Blue hour letters Blue hour letters Just the truth On the page, then I let it go [Bridge] [Soft piano and voice] If I am careful With each small word I can keep from making A myth of what occurred Not to reopen Not to plead Only to place the pieces Where I can see [Final Chorus] Blue hour letters Blue hour letters I name it all, I name it slow Blue hour letters Blue hour letters Just the truth On the page, then I let it go Blue hour letters Blue hour letters I can hold it now And still move on
