lyrics

You signed my form in the kitchen light

Half one, when the coffee went cold

I brought home a ribbon Friday night

You said, "That’s fine," and turned to the stove

I kept waiting for one clean word

One tiny spark in the dark

Then I found what you never said

Folded up in your junk drawer, marked

You never said it

You never said it

You never said it

You never said it

But you kept my note

In the blue tin box

In your hall closet, under wool coats

My spelling test, bent at the seam

Red pen marks on the corner, dried and old

Like you saved the part you wouldn’t speak

I kept waiting for one clean word

One tiny spark in the dark

Then I found what you never said

Folded up in your junk drawer, marked

You never said it

You never said it

You never said it

You never said it

But you kept my note

In the blue tin box

At my show on Atlantic and Third

You stood in the back by the door

No hug, no speech, no proud little word

Just that blue tin box on the floor

You never said it

You never said it

You never said it

You never said it

But you kept my note

In the blue tin box
