lyrics
(a pen scratches paper) One signature left. The new card came in Tuesday's mail Raised letters like a lifted veil I ran my thumb across each line First word that ever felt like mine (mine, mine) I wrote it on the steamed-up glass Watched ten whole years condense and pass (and pass, and pass) Say my maiden name! It survived Say my maiden name! I'm alive Say my maiden name! Say it proud Say my maiden name! Say it LOUD (loud! loud!) She waited in the ink for me I binned the doormat Monday night One woven letter, gold and grand The porch looks naked in the light And honest — like my bare left hand (bare, bare) They said, it's just a word — calm down So's help. So's no. So's leaving town. (so's no... so's no...) Say my maiden name! It survived Say my maiden name! I'm alive Say my maiden name! Say it proud Say my maiden name! Say it LOUD (she's here! she's here!) (a pen scratches paper — done) Signed. Sealed. Me. (say it... say it...)
