lyrics

You swore it in the kitchen, red cup in your hand

At two in the morning, barely able to stand

You wrote it on a napkin from the fish and chip shop

Next day, at the bus stop, you never let it drop

I kept that scrap of paper in my blue coat pocket

Folded by the ferry, bent hard in my wallet

When the rain hit Ponsonby, I read it in my car

You laughed through the hangover, said, "I know who you are"

You said you would

You said you would

You said you would

You said you would

And you did come through

March on Karangahape, your phone lit up green

You showed at the front gate in your work boots clean

With a bag of mandarins and a dented silver thermos

Still smelling like last night and a promise you kept close

I watched you set the table, plates from the top shelf

Tea in the chipped mug, both of us by ourselves

You didn't make a speech, you didn't need the floor

You just showed up once more, and I loved you more

You said you would

You said you would

You said you would

You said you would

And you did come through

Now the cup sits on the windowsill by the sink

Little cracks in the enamel, a sweet, quiet ring

Funny how one drunk line can stay warm in the light

Like a coat on a chair when the house goes quiet at night

You said you would

You said you would

You said you would

You said you would

And you did come through
