lyrics

August, Milan, one suitcase left

At Bar Basso, ice in my glass

Your train was early, platform west

I watched the baker sweep the square at last

The pool gate squeaked at half past six

I kept your cap on my chair

The fax machine flashed old receipts

And my red sandals dried on the stair

I kept the key

I kept the key

I kept the key

I kept the key

While you were gone

The fishmonger folded his blue tarp tight

I bought two peaches, one green pear

On Via Padova, rain at night

Your name stayed white on my calendar there

The pool gate squeaked at half past six

I kept your cap on my chair

The fax machine flashed old receipts

And my red sandals dried on the stair

I kept the key

I kept the key

I kept the key

I kept the key

While you were gone

August turned to bottled weeks

The mop bucket sat by the door

I counted coins in the market street

And the jar of olives tipped on the floor

I kept the key

I kept the key

I kept the key

I kept the key

While you were gone
