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
