lyrics
I left the brass key on your plate Beside two cups and a cracked red crate You held the chain like it could wait Then slid it to me at half past eight Mombasa Road, I watched your hands Tin tray, one ring, and your soft demands You said "take back what I gave" But your keyring stayed in my palm and stayed Keep the keyring Keep the keyring Keep the keyring Keep the keyring I brought the key back I kept the little ring At Yaya Center, by the taxi stand You met my eyes, not my left hand I dropped the key by the tiled floor But the ring stayed warm from the night before You checked your pocket, then looked away I heard the boda horns on Lantana Way You asked for the blade, I said "all right" Then tucked that circle in my coat that night Keep the keyring Keep the keyring Keep the keyring Keep the keyring I brought the key back I kept the little ring Three brass teeth on a nylon loop One tiny scar and a navy groove You can lock that door by noon But the ring still clicks when I move Keep the keyring Keep the keyring Keep the keyring Keep the keyring I brought the key back I kept the little ring
