lyrics

We leaned on the counter by the chipped blue door

Your pint glass sweating rings on the oak

You laughed and swore by the tile floor

You’d meet me at the pier by half past eight, and you spoke

But the rain came slanting off the quay

And the clock on the wall kept time

I saw your boots by the fish shop key

And I knew that night was mine

Kept your word, kept your word

Kept your word, kept your word

By the harbor stones and the gulls that stirred

Kept your word, kept your word

I stood by the bollards in my dark wool coat

With a paper cup gone cold in my hand

The bus shed hissed, and the ferries floated

Past the crane and the mud at the edge of the land

Then you came with your hair full of rain

And a grin like a boy in June

You said, “A drunk man’s oath ain’t plain”

But you found me under the moon

Kept your word, kept your word

Kept your word, kept your word

By the harbor stones and the gulls that stirred

Kept your word, kept your word

Now the cup is chipped on my sink at home

And the coat still smells of the bay

You rang the bell from the wet stone road

And you stayed when the whiskey ran away

Kept your word, kept your word

Kept your word, kept your word

By the harbor stones and the gulls that stirred

Kept your word, kept your word
