lyrics

I wrote your name on the page by the fan

Blue ink dried while the kettle ran

Folded it once, then I folded it twice

Put it in the drawer by the broken rice

Now I hear it slide when I pull that tray

Under old bills where the matches stay

Mum's spoon, one coin, and a receipt from June

Your words still wait in the dark of that room

Still in the drawer

Still in the drawer

Still in the drawer

Still in the drawer

On Nkrumah Road, rain tapped the cab

I held that page like a thing I had

At home, I watched dust on the mango crate

Your line on my tongue, but it came too late

Still in the drawer

Still in the drawer

Still in the drawer

Still in the drawer

If I send it now, what changes at all?

Your side of the bed, the chipped paint wall

So I leave it there with the folded crease

By the wooden comb and the car keys

Still in the drawer

Still in the drawer

Still in the drawer

Still in the drawer
