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
