lyrics

You say my name like rain on tin

By Bryggen steps, with salt on skin

My mother wrote it neat in ink

You break it slow, then let it sink

At the fish market, under tar-red awnings

You hold one vowel through the morning

I turn around, I hear the split

One small name, and you bend it

Say my name

Say my name

Say my name

Say my name

Your mouth makes a new shape

On Nygårdsbroen, with wet black boots

You bite the first sound clean in two

The others call it flat and plain

You pull it long through fog and rain

In the tram glass, my jaw goes tight

You mark each consonant in the night

I know your tongue from one hard clue

No one else speaks it like you do

Say my name

Say my name

Say my name

Say my name

Your mouth makes a new shape

I kept the receipt in my coat pocket

Blue ink, bent corner, folded twice

You said it once by the harbor wall

And split the room with one small knife

Say my name

Say my name

Say my name

Say my name

Your mouth makes a new shape
