lyrics
You said it at the pub, near closing time Your glass had a crack, your grin felt fine You tapped your chest, said “I’ll be there” Left a wet ring on the table chair Next day you rang from Redland Road Head split open, coat half-frozen Still you turned up by the station gate With the same old pack and the same small crate Nine sharp, outside the chip shop Rain on the curb, but you did not stop Keys in your hand, breath all smoke You laughed once, then you kept that oath Kept your word Kept your word Kept your word Kept your word You showed up plain You took that rain By the harbour edge, where the cranes swing slow You hauled that box through the muddy tow Beer on your breath, but your hands stayed true Said “I told you once, I’d see this through” I watched you wipe down the scarred old wood Set it level where the corner should No big speech, no act, no grand parade Just a drunk-made vow that you never betrayed Half past ten, by the blue-lit door You were late, but you came for sure Boots in the slush, face bruised and white Still you stood there through the bite Kept your word Kept your word Kept your word Kept your word You showed up plain You took that rain Morning after, can of lager gone flat Cigarette ash in your coat and hat You shrugged and said, “What’s said is done” Then laughed at the mess of a night of fun Kept your word Kept your word Kept your word Kept your word You showed up plain You took that rain
