lyrics
In the hallway of my father’s flat I found a tax bill, folded flat Three blue mugs on the windowsill And a tin of screws in the sugar tin still A train card dated nineteen-eight A church key bent from the milk crate One wool sock on the radiator Names on the boxes in black marker The tape on the lids turned brown and dry I heard the paper make a little sigh One more shelf and I could see What he kept from you and me Box by box Box by box Box by box Box by box In a shoebox under winter coats There were ticket stubs and old typed notes A watch with the back held on by glue And a postcard cut from the family blue I found your receipt from a bakery Two forks, one bent, in a jam jar key The kettle whistled from the next room While I filled the skip in the yard by noon The tape on the lids turned brown and dry I heard the paper make a little sigh One more shelf and I could see What he kept from you and me Box by box Box by box Box by box Box by box Under the sink, behind the bleach A photo stack just out of reach Your red scarf still smelled like rain I folded it once and shut the frame Box by box Box by box Box by box Box by box
