lyrics

I came in at six, with plantain in foil

Blue cup on the table, the fan on full coil

One chair by the wall where the shoes had been lined

Then I saw two plates set, side by side

Your bag on the armrest, your scarf on the frame

No one said a thing, but the room knew your name

I touched the new seat, smooth wood, painted white

And the clock on the microwave blinked on with the light

No door talk

No phone call

Just a chair in the room

And my chest went soft

I looked once

Then I looked twice

Something settled in me

Like rain on stone tiles

Second chair, second chair (second chair)

Second chair, second chair (second chair)

Second chair, second chair (second chair)

You came in quiet

At Adabraka market, I bought two mangoes small

Put one in my pocket, kept one in the shawl

When I came back home, there was water in glass

And that empty corner was not empty at last

The mat by the sink had a second dry print

Your slippers by the door, one turned at the tip

I laughed to myself, then I shut the gate slow

Like the whole house leaned in, and already you know

Second chair, second chair (second chair)

Second chair, second chair (second chair)

Second chair, second chair (second chair)

You came in quiet

I didn’t hear steps

I didn’t hear keys

But the room changed shape

With the breeze from the trees

I pulled out the chair

Let it stay where it stood

Some things arrive

And they sit like they should

Second chair, second chair (second chair)

Second chair, second chair (second chair)

Second chair, second chair (second chair)

You came in quiet
