lyrics

I lifted the good plates out of the press

Two chipped cups, sugar rings, and a note

Your wool coat hung heavy by the stairs, a mess

And a bus ticket folded in your coat

The hall clock ticked past half past eight

I found your name on a pharmacy bag

The kitchen drawer was full of spare change

And your old key ring tied in a rag

You kept the box, you kept the box

You kept the box, you kept the box

Under the sink with the black plastic socks

You kept the box, you kept the box

The attic had dust on a baby blue frame

A receipt from Tara Street, faded and dry

I found my school photo with your maiden name

And a wool scarf smelling like rain in July

You kept the box, you kept the box

You kept the box, you kept the box

Under the sink with the black plastic socks

You kept the box, you kept the box

At quarter to ten I sat on the floor

With a jam jar of buttons and one bent spoon

I thought I was leaving, but I was still more

Your daughter in the dim kitchen noon

You kept the box, you kept the box

You kept the box, you kept the box

Under the sink with the black plastic socks

You kept the box, you kept the box
