lyrics

At Syntagma, past midnight, you traced my cup in rain

You laughed into the ouzo, then carved your name in pain

A brass tray shook by the sink, the lemon skins were pale

You said, “By first ferry light, I’ll bring you back that nail”

Now the clock above the bar

Ticks like a busted wire

Your coat still hangs on chair

Your promise never tires

You kept your word

You kept your word

You kept your word

You kept your word

Now I taste the salt again

At Piraeus, dawn was gray, your shoes were full of dust

You held the paper ticket like a vow nobody trusts

The dockhands stacked their nets, and the gulls tore through the sky

You came back with my old ring and you would not meet my eyes

Now the clock above the bar

Ticks like a busted wire

Your coat still hangs on chair

Your promise never tires

You kept your word

You kept your word

You kept your word

You kept your word

Now I taste the salt again

In my mother’s blue enamel bowl, the peaches sit untouched

Your thumbprint on the glass rim says you meant it when it hurt

The ferry horn rolls low and long, across the blackened bay

I fold your drunk-night sentence

And keep it anyway

You kept your word

You kept your word

You kept your word

You kept your word

Now I taste the salt again
