I Keep Your Chair

Ashes, Rye & Cedar · All Smoke in Her Hair lyrics

Verse

I keep your chair at a slight little angle
Like you might still know how to sit
I don't wait. I just don't straighten it
There's a difference, and I live in it

Verse

I pour one glass. I don't pour two
I'm not setting a place like a wife
I'm just leaving a shape in the furniture
For a man who knew how to spend a night

Chorus

I keep your chair, not your name
Not your jacket, not your key
Whiskey for me, smoke for the empty
That's as loyal as I care to be

Verse

If you came back I'd make you earn the wood
You don't get the angle for free
You get the look, then the pour, then the quiet
Then maybe you get some of me

Bridge

People think a empty chair is sad
Mine is just a habit with arms
I can fill it. I can leave it
I can hold a room without a man's charm

Chorus

I keep your chair, not your name
Not your jacket, not your key
Whiskey for me, smoke for the empty
That's as loyal as I care to be
