The Phonograph Keeps Spinning

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Verse 1

The needle settles soft on worn-out wax

Moonlight crawls across the empty room

I count the hours since you turned your back

And hum the tune we danced to in June

Pre-Chorus

Darling where did the evening go

I wait for a knock I know won't come

Chorus

Come back to me

Come back to me

The phonograph keeps spinning

Come back to me

Verse 2

Your coat still hangs behind the kitchen door

Your coffee cup sits cold upon the shelf

I trace the letters you once wrote before

And whisper secrets to myself

Pre-Chorus

Darling where did the morning hide

I reach for a hand that's not there

Chorus

Come back to me

Come back to me

The phonograph keeps spinning

Come back to me

Bridge

(spoken)

Some nights the silence has a voice

It calls your name across the hall

And I answer every time

Though you're not listening at all

Chorus

Come back to me

Come back to me

The record keeps on turning

Come back to me

Come back to me
