lyrics
I wrote your name on the kitchen table By the kettle, steam in the sink Folded it once by the blue enamel Then shut the drawer before I could think The loose tea tin rattled beside it The spoon left a dent in the wood I heard your car pass down Bury New Road And stood by the blinds like I should Still in the drawer Still in the drawer Still in the drawer Still in the drawer Under the socks and bills Still in the drawer Rain on the glass of the front-room window Postmark blurred in the bin by the hall Your stamp peeled up at the corner Your name small as a pin on the wall I meant to mail it on Monday Past the shop with the cracked-up sign But the red box stood by the station And I turned back every time Still in the drawer Still in the drawer Still in the drawer Still in the drawer Under the socks and bills Still in the drawer Now the gum on the envelope's brittle The ink has thinned to a bruise I pull it out when the room goes quiet Then fold it back like I used to Still in the drawer Still in the drawer Still in the drawer Still in the drawer Under the socks and bills Still in the drawer
