lyrics

You said it at Tipsy Tiger, just after two

Your glass had thumbprints, mine had yours in view

You laughed at the till, then you said, “I’ll show”

Now you’re at my door with the same small glow

Boots on the tile, keys in your hand

You’re standing real still like you meant that plan

Cold chicken in foil, twelve red roses too

You kept that drunk promise, now I’m looking at you

Kept the promise

Kept the promise

Kept the promise

Kept the promise

You came through at last

We crossed to Maboneng in a dented grey cab

You wore that blue shirt and the sleeve was still half-stabbed

You bought me a kota, then you paid for the ride

Said, “I was too gone, but I kept it inside”

One small grin, then you reached for my arm

Your phone on ten percent, your face still warm

Late train whistle, bottle by the sink

You kept that drunk promise, I can feel you think

Kept the promise

Kept the promise

Kept the promise

Kept the promise

You came through at last

At half past one, you were talking too fast

Now morning is breaking, and the moment can last

No big speech, just your palm in my mine

You said you would, and you came right on time

Kept the promise

Kept the promise

Kept the promise

Kept the promise

You came through at last
