lyrics

By the sink at half past one

Your boots stayed lined by the mat

Three cups dry, the kettle done

One wet sleeve on the chair-back flat

The others left with their coats half-zipped

Keys in a bowl, door shut tight

You stood where the draught kept slipping

Past the last glass, past the last light

Stayed too long

Stayed too long

Stayed too long

Stayed too long

At Torgallmenningen, sleet on stone

Tram wires sang above the square

You held my sleeve when the room went bone

While everyone else climbed the stairs

The others left with their coats half-zipped

Keys in a bowl, door shut tight

You stood where the draught kept slipping

Past the last glass, past the last light

Stayed too long

Stayed too long

Stayed too long

Stayed too long

Now the ashtray's full of blackened foam

And the clock ticks hard on the wall

I find your scarf by the phone at home

Folded once, like a final shawl

Stayed too long

Stayed too long

Stayed too long

Stayed too long
