lyrics
At seven, I stood by the ferry steps Your key was cold in my mittened hands The brass bit bright in the woolen steps I counted out breaths on the wet planks You said, “Keep the ring, just bring me the key” So I turned in the blade by the post office door The small teeth shone like fishbone bone-white to me And the round ring stayed warm in my palm once more Keep the ring Keep the ring Keep the ring Keep the ring I left the key, but I kept the ring I left the key, but I kept the ring At nine-fifteen, snow tapped the window glass I laid out the ring on the pinewood sill Your name on the tag began to fade to brass But I held that circle, quiet and still You said, “Keep the ring, just bring me the key” So I turned in the blade by the post office door The small teeth shone like fishbone bone-white to me And the round ring stayed warm in my palm once more Keep the ring Keep the ring Keep the ring Keep the ring I left the key, but I kept the ring I left the key, but I kept the ring At midnight, the harbor froze at the edge I tied the ring to my scarf with a thread One little circle, a silver pledge One missing key, and the words unsaid Keep the ring Keep the ring Keep the ring Keep the ring I left the key, but I kept the ring I left the key, but I kept the ring
