lyrics
You leaned on the quay at two With salt on your sleeve and beer on your breath You laughed at the moon in the wet dock boards And swore by my name you’d still be here by dawn At six, the kettle clicked once Your boots by the door held a crust of snow I did not move them I kept the light low You kept your word You kept your word You kept your word You kept your word So I left the cup by the sink By noon, the window held thin rain The blue glass bowl had a ring of cream Your coat still hung on the nail by the stove I learned how to wait with my hands in my lap At dusk, the latch breathed cold The harbor flags turned hard in the wind I heard the church bell Then nothing again You kept your word You kept your word You kept your word You kept your word So I left the cup by the sink Now the March ice loosens slow And the ferry horn folds into mist I found your matchbox In the bread tin still You kept your word You kept your word You kept your word You kept your word So I left the cup by the sink
