Revenant

Read your letters all again
Coffee rings and a ballpoint pen
Tear stains every now and then
I remember what they meant

Revenant
Come on back again
Come on revenant
Come and take my hand
Revenant
Come on back

In a box under the stairs
Found a lock of a child's hair
Suddenly I saw you there
Runny-eyed in a wooden chair
Ran outside to hide your face
In the wild Queen Anne's lace
Green and wide around your waist
Waving in the wind

Revenant
Come on back again
Come on revenant
Come and take my hand
Revenant

Come and let me hold you in my arms
Come and get my shoulder wet and warm
Come and show me what it is you want

Oh, familiar chest of drawers
Hose the mirror you dress before
Throwing shadows on the floor
I know you're behind that door
Light the lamp and turn the key
I'm sending out your vanity
We're as young as we'll ever be
Old as we ever been

Revenant
Come on back again
Come on revenant
Come and take my hand

Revenant
Come on back again
Come on revenant
Come and take my hand

Revenant
Come on back again
Come on revenant
Come and take my hand

Revenant
Come on back
