Coimbra Wept in Minor Keys

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Verse 1

The river carries lanterns through the night

I watch them drift like memories I can't hold

Your coat still hangs behind the oaken door

And I have learned to live inside the cold

Pre-Chorus

Maybe I should burn the letters

Maybe I should let them go

Chorus

Coimbra sings a song I never learned

The guitar weeps in minor keys for you

I wander streets where your shadow still burns

And every stone remembers what we knew

Verse 2

The students pass with voices sharp and young

Their laughter cuts the silence into threads

I trace the wall where we once carved our names

Now faded like the promises we said

Pre-Chorus

Maybe I should cross the river

Maybe I should let you go

Chorus

Coimbra sings a song I never learned

The guitar weeps in minor keys for you

I wander streets where your shadow still burns

And every stone remembers what we knew

Bridge

I hold the night like water in my hands

It slips away

It slips away

I call your name into the empty land

It fades away

It fades away

Chorus

Coimbra sings a song I never learned

The guitar weeps in minor keys for you

I wander streets where your shadow still burns

And every stone remembers what we knew

Outro

Mm

Coimbra

Mm-hmm
