Seven Winters Indoors

Verse 1

Cold tile under bare feet

I count the hours till the hallway dims

Your coat still hangs by the door

And the radiator hums a tired hymn

Something in the plaster breathes

Something in the wiring knows my name

Pre-Chorus

I keep the curtains drawn

I keep the kettle warm for no one

Chorus

Nobody calls at this hour

Nobody calls at this hour

I sit with the quiet like a guest

I sit with the quiet like a guest

Post-Chorus

(Ooh) nobody calls

(Ooh) nobody calls

Verse 2

I wore your ring on a string

Till the string went grey and snapped in two

Now the hallway smells like rain

And the lamp burns blue the whole night through

Pre-Chorus

I answer the phone sometimes

Just to hear a stranger's weather

Chorus

Nobody calls at this hour

Nobody calls at this hour

I sit with the quiet like a guest

I sit with the quiet like a guest

Post-Chorus

(Ooh) nobody calls

(Ooh) nobody calls

Bridge

Seven winters seven doors

Seven reasons I stayed indoors

Every mirror holds a shape

Every shape is turning away

Chorus

Nobody calls at this hour

Nobody calls at this hour

I sit with the quiet like a guest

I sit with the quiet like a guest

Post-Chorus

(Ooh) nobody calls

(Ooh) nobody calls
