[Verse]
Dm F
The letter stopped in a minor key
G C
A Christmas card that you drew for me
F C Dm
Done by the hand that I knew so well
G F G C
Disguised the message that you could not tell
[Verse]
Dm F
I see you bent above your potter's wheel
G C
The piece you're throwing, is the piece you feel
F C Dm
The softest colour and an eye so true
G C
For cups and bowls that are shaped like you
[Chorus]
F Dm
You work in porcelain cut by wire
G C
And now as ever, lovers walk through fire
F C Dm
When we were breaking, we made no sound
G F Dm7 G C
The pieces almost touching on the ground
[Verse]
Dm F
And now your silence says, there's someone there
G C
She stands behind you as she strokes your hair
F C Dm
How does she hold you, like a long lost friend?
G C
Or are you like me, on your own again?
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
Dm F
And so I write you in a minor key
G C
Wondering if there's something left for me
F C Dm
I'm only writing so that I can sleep
G F C
I never found another love as deep
[Chorus]
F Dm
You work in porcelain cut by wire
G C
And now as ever, lovers walk through fire
F C Dm
When we were breaking, we made no sound
G F C
The pieces almost touching on the ground
[Chorus]
F Dm
You work in porcelain cut by wire
G C
And now as ever, lovers walk through fire
F C Dm
When we were breaking, we made no sound
G F Dm7 G C
The pieces almost touching on the ground
