lyrics

Under the fish shop awning, rain on Grafton Road

You laughed into your pint and made that reckless vow

You wrote my name on a napkin, folded in your coat

At two in the morning, you said you'd come around

When the glass was empty, I thought it would fade

But the date stayed sharp as the tear in my sleeve

And every Monday morning I heard what you said

Like a key in the lock of the week

You kept it

You kept it

You kept it

You kept it

You came back

On the 145 at Heuston, you stood by the door

With a plastic bag of apples and a bruise on your hand

You held out the receipt from the chemist on the floor

And the words you had promised were still in your mouth

All the people around us moved like a tide

But you stood there steady in your second-best shoes

I saw the whole night in the fold of your face

And I knew what a promise can do

You kept it

You kept it

You kept it

You kept it

You came back

Not the grand speech

Not the gold ring

Just your damp sleeves

And the crack in your grin

Half-dead tired

Still you crossed town

With my name safe

In your pocket again

You kept it

You kept it

You kept it

You kept it

You came back
