lyrics
You never said it once to me Not at the school gate, not at sea Your boots by the mat, your keys in a dish I learned your silence as a wish On Sundays you’d fold the laundry tight Blue wool coat, damp sleeves, pale light I watched your hands on the kitchen knife And wondered what you’d say to my life Then one small box on the radiator A note with my name, and no theater Your thumbprint on the tape, still gray I held my breath and looked away Blue wool coat Blue wool coat Blue wool coat Blue wool coat That was your yes That was your yes You came to the hall with your coat half-zipped Rain on your collar, paper clipped You stood in the back by the vending machine Like you were trying not to be seen But when they called my name, you clapped too hard Dropped your glove on the tiled floor I saw your mouth move, just a little bent Like pride could live in what you couldn’t send Then one small box on the radiator A note with my name, and no theater Your thumbprint on the tape, still gray I held my breath and looked away Blue wool coat Blue wool coat Blue wool coat Blue wool coat That was your yes That was your yes In the hall, under the exit sign You touched my sleeve and said, “you’re mine” No speech, no bow, no silver frame Just that small box and my full name Blue wool coat Blue wool coat Blue wool coat Blue wool coat That was your yes That was your yes
