lyrics

I said yes to one cup of tea

At half past six on Camden Street

Your wool coat draped on the chair by me

And rain kept time on the bakery

I took the mug with both my hands

You laughed like you'd already planned

That tiny room, that chipped white plate

Somehow made me stay

One cup of tea

One cup of tea

One cup of tea

One cup of tea

And everything changed for me

A year now in a terraced flat

Two mugs drying on the wire rack

Your keys by the sink, my boots by the mat

That small first yes still carries us back

I still can taste that weak black brew

The sugar spoon, the cracked window view

I thought I'd leave when it ran dry

But I watched the whole year rise

One cup of tea

One cup of tea

One cup of tea

One cup of tea

And everything changed for me

No bells, no map, no grand design

Just one warm mug and borrowed time

A Tuesday evening, damp and plain

And I said yes again

One cup of tea

One cup of tea

One cup of tea

One cup of tea

And everything changed for me
