Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Window open, street below
Someone called a name I almost knew
The chord stayed suspended
One microphone above middle C
[Chorus]
Hearing a name you cannot quite place
It echoes from the Edinburgh street
The room tone is part of the song
And the chord will not resolve complete
[Verse 2]
Recorded in a single evening
Microphone on the piano lid
The room itself became an instrument
And that is what we did
[Chorus]
Hearing a name you cannot quite place
It echoes from the Edinburgh street
The room tone is part of the song
And the chord will not resolve complete
[Bridge]
Someone called a name I almost knew
I turned but no one was there
The chord stayed suspended in the air
Like a question without a care
[Chorus]
Hearing a name you cannot quite place
It echoes from the Edinburgh street
The room tone is part of the song
And the chord will not resolve complete
[Outro]
Window open
Street below
