The click of the front door
Your clothes left on the floor
Bike wheels still turning
Where you left them on the back lawn
Your voices recede and
Your fingers slip from my hand
White skies and silence
A lifeless wind burns through the Downland
And it's cold, cold, cold, cold, cold
When you're not home, home, home, home, home
I sit and stare, I sit and stare
Into my phone, phone, phone, phone, phone
I love that silver-grey first morning light
I see that fearless love in your blue eyes
Think I can picture some new shape of life
But now you're not home
No, you're not home, not home
And it's cold, cold, cold, cold, cold
When you're not home, home, home, home, home
I sit and stare, I sit and stare
Into my phone, phone, phone, phone, phone
I love that silver-grey first morning light
I see that fearless love in your blue eyes
Think I can picture some new shape of life
But now you're not home
No, you're not home
I love that silver-grey first morning light
I see that fearless love in your blue eyes
Think I can picture some new shape of life
But now you're not home
No, you're not home
Not home, no you're not home
Not home, no you're not home
Not home
No, you're not home
Your clothes left on the floor
Bike wheels still turning
Where you left them on the back lawn
Your voices recede and
Your fingers slip from my hand
White skies and silence
A lifeless wind burns through the Downland
And it's cold, cold, cold, cold, cold
When you're not home, home, home, home, home
I sit and stare, I sit and stare
Into my phone, phone, phone, phone, phone
I love that silver-grey first morning light
I see that fearless love in your blue eyes
Think I can picture some new shape of life
But now you're not home
No, you're not home, not home
And it's cold, cold, cold, cold, cold
When you're not home, home, home, home, home
I sit and stare, I sit and stare
Into my phone, phone, phone, phone, phone
I love that silver-grey first morning light
I see that fearless love in your blue eyes
Think I can picture some new shape of life
But now you're not home
No, you're not home
I love that silver-grey first morning light
I see that fearless love in your blue eyes
Think I can picture some new shape of life
But now you're not home
No, you're not home
Not home, no you're not home
Not home, no you're not home
Not home
No, you're not home

0General CommentI think this song is about a divorced dad, whose kids have just been picked up by their mom. The front door clicks as the kids rush out to meet her in the driveway; they leave their clothes on the floor and their bikes in the yard. Their little hands slip out out of his hand. He is begining to see that life will go on, in a different shape than it had before, and that's hopeful. But right at this moment, you (his kids) are not home, and that's rough.
