lyrics

I saw you by the fish market stalls

At noon, with salt on your coat

Your gloves were tucked in your sleeve cuffs

You stood with that same easy throat

The winter sun on your cheek was pale

The ferry horn rolled low and clear

You laughed at something on your phone

And I felt my shoulders unsteer

No tremor in the cup I held

No reason to hold on tight

Your face was open in the day

Like cups of milk in the light

You look well

You look well

You look well

You look well

I let you go in daylight

At the bakery, the blue trays shone

With cardamom and sticky buns

You bought two loaves and a paper bag

I watched you count your coins in ones

Your hair had grown, your shoes were new

Your hands were steady at the till

You smiled at the woman behind the glass

And I was calm against my will

You look well

You look well

You look well

You look well

I let you go in daylight

Back home, I hung my wool coat dry

By the radiator's quiet heat

Snowmelt ticked from my window ledge

And I washed the salt from my sleeve

You look well

You look well

You look well

You look well

I let you go in daylight
