lyrics

At Seven at Eglinton, you wait by the door

Pearl clips in her hair, she has seen this before

Your name on her lips like a stamp on a note

She folds up the mail and tightens her coat

She sees the ring mark, the shoe scuff, the bruise

The half-empty carton, the cold on your shoes

One look from the kitchen, she knows what she knows

Then she shakes her head slow

Nana said no, nana said no

Nana said no, nana said no

She crossed her arms at the table

And said, “not him, not him”

On the 29 bus, she grips her brown bag

Beside the wet scarf and the plastic-tagged rag

At St. Clair in rain, she stands in the light

And sizes him up in one short bite

She sees the ring mark, the shoe scuff, the bruise

The half-empty carton, the cold on your shoes

One look from the kitchen, she knows what she knows

Then she shakes her head slow

Nana said no, nana said no

Nana said no, nana said no

She crossed her arms at the table

And said, “not him, not him”

She left you a note by the sugar and tea

Three words in blue ink: “keep him from me”

The porcelain rattled, the hallway went still

She knew every lie by the look on your heel

Nana said no, nana said no

Nana said no, nana said no

She crossed her arms at the table

And said, “not him, not him”
