lyrics
You showed me the cup in your left hand, then spilled tea on the mat At Wellawatte, by the fan, I copied you just like that You said, “Press here, press there,” while the kettle started to sing I pressed the wrong silver switch, and the whole room went ping Your fingers moved slow on the spoon, by the cracked blue plate You smiled at my clumsy reply and said, “Wait, wait, wait” From Galle Face wind to the rice pot, you kept my hands in line One small step, then another step, till the mess fell into time Easy now, easy now Easy now, easy now Easy now, easy now You taught me wrong, but you stayed On the 138 at dusk, you pointed at the stop sign light I missed the turn by two whole blocks, you laughed and said it’s alright At Pettah, with a bag of limes, you showed me how to cut the skin I split the fruit too deep, and juice ran down my wrist and chin You tapped the table with your ring, like a tiny metal beat Then you fixed my grip on the knife, and moved my thumb a seat Through the open window, curry smoke curled past the balcony rail You kept on saying, “Slow, slow, slow,” like that was part of the trail Easy now, easy now Easy now, easy now Easy now, easy now You taught me wrong, but you stayed At nine-fifteen, the ceiling hummed, and the spoon hit the glass You made me try it one more time, then let the bad one pass I learned from your patient hands, from the burn and the stain From the wet dish towel on the hook, from the salt on the pane Easy now, easy now Easy now, easy now Easy now, easy now You taught me wrong, but you stayed
