lyrics
You saw my badge by the kettle, kept my tea in line When Maya asked for my name, you said, "She's on time" You signed off the sheet while I tied my scarf in the hall My train from Peckham was late, but you caught that call You slid me the notes by the printer, neat and red Kept my chair warm by the window, said nothing instead No big speech, no spotlight, just that look You turned my mess into air, then shut the book You covered me You covered me You covered me You covered me Same quiet way You covered me No name, no praise You covered me On Friday in the lift, your tote bag hit my knee You held the door at reception, let the whole thing breathe My mom rang from Lagos, I missed it on my screen You said, "Go back, I got this," then you kept it clean You covered me You covered me You covered me You covered me Same quiet way You covered me No name, no praise You covered me Now the cups are stacked, and the floor's been mopped by eight Your pen is on my desk, and I know it was you today If they ask me why I'm calm, I don't have to explain You make room for my life, then step out the frame You covered me You covered me You covered me You covered me Same quiet way You covered me No name, no praise You covered me
