lyrics

In the blue tin drawer by the sink

Your paper slept under tax receipts

I folded the page with a silver wink

Then fed it to dust and heat

At nine fifteen, the kettle hissed

Your name sat sharp on my tongue

I held that note, then I let it slip

Past the red lamp and the rung

Still in the drawer

Still in the drawer

Still in the drawer

Still in the drawer

Sealed with my thumbprint

By the tram stop, my coat got wet

I bought two stamps at the station

Back home, your lines were not sent yet

Tucked by the sugar and ration

At ten past six, the hallway rang

I reached for the key in the bowl

The envelope shook in my hand

Like a coin at the bottom of gold

Still in the drawer

Still in the drawer

Still in the drawer

Still in the drawer

Sealed with my thumbprint

Now the drawer sticks in July

The wood swells close to the seam

I see that page when I close my eyes

Cream paper, blue ink, clean

Still in the drawer

Still in the drawer

Still in the drawer

Still in the drawer

Sealed with my thumbprint
