lyrics

(the corner)

She read both pages standing up in her coat in April
The notice and the reason, all four hundred words
And she did not say a single thing about any of it
Not at lunch, not in the car, not on the phone since

She touched the corner (the corner)
On the way out, the corner
Two fingers, the corner
The corner

She touched the corner, corner, she touched the corner, corner
My mother left a marriage with a folder ready from week one
She touched the corner, corner, she touched the corner, corner
And she read a document with no remedy in it and said nothing

That is her entire language. I have been fluent since I was nine.
A hand on a doorframe, a corner touched, a cup put down slowly.
Twenty-two years of marriage and she never once said the word.
(bass returns)

She touched the corner, corner, she touched the corner, corner
My mother left a marriage with a folder ready from week one
She touched the corner, corner, she touched the corner, corner
And she read a document with no remedy in it and said nothing

(the corner...)
