lyrics

We cleared the flat on Bliss Street slow

Three tea glasses, one bent spoon in a row

A carton of keys by the chipped blue door

Your wedding tape, dust on the floor

I found old bills in a biscuit tin

A cracked rosary, and your brass pin

Two army photos, faces worn and pale

And a yellow note from the post office mail

I held that note with my thumb and thumbprint

Read your name twice, then my chest went thin

The fan spun once in the empty hall

I heard your lock click in the drywall

Keep what you kept

Keep what you kept

Keep what you kept

Keep what you kept

In the top drawer, one navy tie

A Metro card, a cuff link, a dry red dye

Your spare glasses in a sugar jar

And a bus receipt from Dora, far

We boxed the cups with the gold rim line

One cracked plate, three forks, and the bread knife fine

Under the bed, a tin of old Camels lay

And a radio tag from a worn red tray

Keep what you kept

Keep what you kept

Keep what you kept

Keep what you kept

At Beit El-Chaar, rain on the van

My cousin smoked, and the driver yawned again

I wrote your address on a carton lid

Like a door I opened and never did

Keep what you kept

Keep what you kept

Keep what you kept

Keep what you kept
