lyrics

You saw my coat on the chair by the door

The kettle went cold on the oak by the floor

You set down your bag with the bread and the jam

And asked if I’d eaten, like only you can

At the kitchen window, the rain made a line

Across the wet glass at quarter to nine

You knew by my silence, by the cup in my hand

Before I said one word, you already planned

You stood at the sink with the tea towel bare

No questions, no fuss, just a seat and a stare

Then you moved closer, soft as a prayer

And I felt the room change when you got there

You knew, you knew, you knew, you knew

You knew before I spoke to you

You knew, you knew, you knew, you knew

You knew before I spoke to you

On Shop Street by dusk, you bought soup and thyme

Then carried it home in the salt-sea time

You left the blue bowl by the crust on the plate

And kept your hand near mine, just in case

You noticed the sleeves I kept pulling down

The shoes by the mat, the silence in town

You filled up the fireguard, stacked sticks by the wall

Then sat at the table and said nothing at all

You knew, you knew, you knew, you knew

You knew before I spoke to you

You knew, you knew, you knew, you knew

You knew before I spoke to you

At St. Nicholas side, with the gulls overhead

You walked half a step in front of me instead

And when my voice cracked on the bridge in the rain

You squeezed my shoulder and carried the strain

You knew, you knew, you knew, you knew

You knew before I spoke to you

You knew, you knew, you knew, you knew

You knew before I spoke to you
