lyrics

You set the blue bowl by my chair

At six, before the kettle cried

Your hands smelled sharp of lemon peel and pear

You watched my face and looked away, half-pried

In the hall, the tile was cold

My key was stuck, my throat was tight

You made room there at the fold

And covered up the lamp at night

You saw me

You saw me

You saw me

You saw me

Before I spoke

At Monastiraki, by the tram

You bought two olives in a cone

You asked my name in a quiet jam

Then walked me home through rain and stone

You saw me

You saw me

You saw me

You saw me

Before I spoke

You knew the sign in my left hand

The cup I dropped, the sleep-starved blink

You said, "Come sit, don't make it stand"

And slid the chair before I sank

You saw me

You saw me

You saw me

You saw me

Before I spoke
