lyrics

Pietersburg taxi, seven-thirty

Empty bread tin, kettle cold, shoes muddy

You saw my face, said, "Talk to me, first"

You set out two mugs, then sat down close by

You took my keys from the table

Read my hands, said I was shaky

Packed my plate, put fruit in a dish

You knew my weight before I said it

You saw me first

You saw me first

You saw me first

You saw me first

Midrand train, blue bag on my knee

Phone on silent, thumb on the cracked screen

You called my name when I couldn't speak

You left the door open, kept it warm for me

You saw me first

You saw me first

You saw me first

You saw me first

When my shirt hung loose, you noticed

When I skipped lunch, you clocked it

You brought black tea, a spare charger

Sat by the gate till my breath steadied

You saw me first

You saw me first

You saw me first

You saw me first
