lyrics
You clocked in for me at half past six While I was stuck by the docks in rain You signed the sheet and you shifted the crates Then you laughed it off in the back room plain The kettle hissed on the dented sink You set my mug by the chipped blue tray I came in late with salt on my boots You’d already covered the whole first lay No story told, no hand held high Just your coat on the chair by the door You kept my name off the chatter line And made it look like nothing more You covered for me You covered for me You covered for me You covered for me And never said a word By the loading bay, near the crates of pears You took the call when the boss came round I was out at the van with a jammed-up door You stood there calm and you held your ground At tea break time by the scratchy clock You slid me the keys with a nod and grin If I owe you back, I’ll pay it in full You kept my skin from the heat I was in You covered for me You covered for me You covered for me You covered for me And never said a word When the yard went quiet and the rain came slant You stayed on your feet till the shift was done No grand speech, no raised glass name Just a tap on the bench and a half-smile won You covered for me You covered for me You covered for me You covered for me And never said a word
