lyrics
You saw my boots by the sink at six Coffee cold in a red stain ring I kept my mouth shut, kept my face all bricks You knew my hands were missing a thing You picked up the mail off the hallway floor Saw the shut-down look in my eyes You set a paper plate by the cracked front door And you did not ask me why You slid that chair on the linoleum Sat by me till the kettle screamed In the blue of the stove, in the hard cold room You knew I was coming undone at the seams You knew it first You knew it first You knew it first You knew it first Down on Vernor, with the mill dust on my coat I was halfway gone by noon You left a plastic bag and a handwritten note By the truck seat under the moon At the kitchen table, your thumb on the cup You tapped twice on the chipped white lid You saw my shoulder lock, my eyes not looking up Before I even said what hit You slid that chair on the linoleum Sat by me till the kettle screamed In the blue of the stove, in the hard cold room You knew I was coming undone at the seams You knew it first You knew it first You knew it first You knew it first When the washer rattled in the next room loud And the basin shook its frame You placed that rag on my shaking brow And spoke my name, spoke my name You knew it first You knew it first You knew it first You knew it first
