lyrics
You wore your work boots in the hall Grease on the cuff, red dust on the wall You never said the words I chased Just stared at the plate, jaw set in place Then I found the drawer by the sink Under tax slips and a bent-up link My fifth-grade photo, folded small Edged with tape, tucked under it all You kept it You kept it You kept it You kept it That was your pride You kept it You kept it You kept it You kept it Right where I hide In the Ford outside on Harper Road A brown paper bag and a lunchbox hold The note I drew with a blue-ink line Stick figures, block letters, "dad" inside I saw the crease where your thumb had stayed On that bent little face from back in the day No speech, no praise, no holy speech Just that quiet proof you carried in reach You kept it You kept it You kept it You kept it That was your pride You kept it You kept it You kept it You kept it Right where I hide At the sink, at midnight, alone You washed that plate like it was stone I caught your hand on that paper edge One small thing, and I got the message You kept it You kept it You kept it You kept it That was your pride You kept it You kept it You kept it You kept it Right where I hide
