lyrics

You left your boots by the sink last night

Wet wool on the tile, a hush in the hall

You said my name like a cut in the white

Your tea went cold in the chipped enamel bowl

By the porch step, you turned your face

Snow on your sleeve, salt on the wood

You spoke one truth I could not place

Then I heard it in the way you stood

Tell me true

Tell me true

Tell me true

Tell me true

I did not want it, but I knew

At the fish market, under tarpaulin blue

You watched my hands fold into my coat

The gulls pulled circles over the quay

You named the ache I tried to choke

By the porch step, you turned your face

Snow on your sleeve, salt on the wood

You spoke one truth I could not place

Then I heard it in the way you stood

Tell me true

Tell me true

Tell me true

Tell me true

I did not want it, but I knew

Now the kettle ticks in the darkened room

Your words sit still in the sugar tin

I rinse the cups in the morning light

And let the hard clean thing come in

Tell me true

Tell me true

Tell me true

Tell me true

I did not want it, but I knew
