lyrics

I took the bus to Laugavegur in rain

Cardboard stacks in the hall, my hands in pain

His wool coat held a ferry ticket stub

A rusted tin of mints, and a bent brass nub

Under the sink, the blue gloves folded tight

Old jam jars lined like teeth in winter light

In the bread drawer, a key with no address

I held it up, then let it weigh the rest

What you kept

What you kept

What you kept

What you kept

In the red tin by the stove

What you kept

Three teaspoons, chipped mugs, a cracked glass bowl

A church receipt from Akureyri, folded small

A postcard of Þingvellir, dated May

And my baby tooth in a film can case

Behind the coat rack, a receipt from nine

For lemon soap and rye in 1999

The freezer hissed, the clock kept one-two-eight

I closed the door and heard the stairwell shake

What you kept

What you kept

What you kept

What you kept

In the red tin by the stove

What you kept

I found your name on a pill box lid

Two train tickets and the scarf I hid

The sink was full of spoon marks, dull and white

I left the key where the hallway light hit

What you kept

What you kept

What you kept

What you kept

In the red tin by the stove

What you kept
