lyrics

Boxes stacked high to the ceiling

Years of their lives piled inside

A musty old smell no concealing

Nowhere left for memories to hide

Sunlight through a grimy pane

Fingers trace a faded name

What they kept

What they kept

Just what they kept

What they kept

A broken delph plate a chipped mug

Photographs curled at the edge

Old tweed coat on a wooden peg

A lifetime balanced on a ledge

What they kept

What they kept

Just what they kept

What they kept

Under the bed a worn wooden chest

Full of letters tied with string

Whispers of futures put to the test

The secrets that old papers bring
