A last-minute addition to the EP. Seeing Mike walking through the door of our home for the last time, we were struck with the impermanence of our lives as they were. So many songs went unrecorded for this EP, but when Alex and I started this last one, we knew we had to finish it.

lyrics

And all that’s left but empty air
Is four bronze keys and a silver spare.

It feels cold with the door open
Carried things beside carried thoughts
Goodbyes said and some unspoken
A clang as we divide the pots
And shoes, and forks, and things we bought

And all that’s left but empty air
Is four bronze keys and a silver spare.

Bittersweet change fills the air
And we leave
Four bronze keys and a silver spare
