Meet Me There Lyrics - Clear Glass Jar - Judith Edelman

The chair is still warm as if you just sat there 

In fact, you've been gone forever 

Parting shot rings on the air 

'Be right back, be right back'Household opera sung by faucets leaking 

And refrigerator humming 

My foot taps out the refrain 

'Be right back, be right back' 

In a stained apartment, in a parting glance 

Under the wreckage, the best laid plans 

In a field where no one's ever fought 

Every twisted word comes out like prayer 

Come lay down your bitter thoughts 

Will you meet me there? 

I'm your story, I'm the killing question, 

I'm the broken china, 

I'm the chair that's empty and still warm 

I am all that, I am all that 

Chorus 

Is that your step, is that your step? 

In the distance, drawing near, drawing near 

Another year, another year's existence 

There's no one here, no one here 

I have stayed to see how tangled plot lines 

End in peeling plaster 

And how all the walls are falling down 

'Be right back, be right back' 

Chorus +: 

In an empty field that lies beyond 

All that's fair and unfair 

When the bitterness is gone 

Will you meet me there? 

Will you meet me there? 

Will you meet me there
