lyrics

December dust on the kombi seat

Your empty cup still by the sink

Suitcases rolled out down the street

I counted mango peels in the drain and the time on the clock was three

The gate swung slow in the noon-day heat

My cousin waved from a truck in the lane

I kept one plate, I kept two feet

On the red dirt, I waited for rain

I stayed in town

I stayed in town

I stayed in town

I stayed in town

The football pitch wore patches of chalk

School uniforms hung on the line

A radio crackled by the wall

I danced with the kettle and killed the time

Your bus went west through the Naivasha dust

My phone lit up, then went dark

I ate guava with a little salt

And watched the crows on the jacaranda bark

I stayed in town

I stayed in town

I stayed in town

I stayed in town

When August came with the market smoke

I found my name in the butcher's queue

All that leaving left a wooden chair

And I learned how the quiet pulls through

I stayed in town

I stayed in town

I stayed in town

I stayed in town
