lyrics
I wore rubber gloves in the hall Dust on the picture frames, thin and pale Cardboard sighed when I let it fall My name in a box from a Safeway sale Blue checks in a mason jar A can opener bent at the hinge Your reading glasses by the jar And a spoon with the handle at the edge I found the key in the breadbox tin Under the flour and a church receipt Your little notes, your grocery list skin Eggs, aspirin, and a cracked back seat Keep it hidden Keep it hidden Keep it hidden Keep it hidden Keep it hidden Keep it hidden Till my hands went cold Till I knew what you kept in the fold In the coat closet, winter hats One wool scarf and a zipper snagged A Polaroid stack of you and Dad At the coast, with the dog in the bag A tube of lipstick, rust-red worn A casino ticket, 11:14 The drawer still smelled like cedar and corn And the medicine cup in the sink I stood there quiet, my boots on tile Reading your date book, June through May Every crossed-out plan, every mile Like you packed your life away Keep it hidden Keep it hidden Keep it hidden Keep it hidden Keep it hidden Keep it hidden Till my hands went cold Till I knew what you kept in the fold There was a bank slip folded tight And a number on the back of a gas bill A postcard from a place you liked With your neat blue pen, calm and still I laughed once, then I bit my cheek At the cracked old mug by the stove You kept your grief in the sugar tin You kept your love in the seams of clothes Keep it hidden Keep it hidden Keep it hidden Keep it hidden Keep it hidden Keep it hidden Till my hands went cold Till I knew what you kept in the fold
