lyrics
At the kade by Panchikawatta road You said it soft, like you knew my code My mother says it fast, all sharp and plain But on your tongue, it turns into rain You keep the last bit hanging in the air Like a spoon on glass, like you still care In the bus at Fort, with the window down You said my name and it spun me round At nine-twenty by the train gate line You bent one syllable and made it mine I looked at you, you looked away Then said it again in your own way You say my name You say my name You say my name You say my name And it lands on me You say my name You say my name You say my name You say my name Like nobody else can At the fish stall near the old Dutch fort You lean in close, then you pull me short My friends say it plain on the Galle Face sand But yours has a twist in the back of your hand In the yellow tuk by the side-road bend You say it once, then you say it again I keep that sound in my shirt pocket seam Like a folded note from a half-dream You say my name You say my name You say my name You say my name And it lands on me You say my name You say my name You say my name You say my name Like nobody else can At midnight by the rice lamp glow I hear that version only you know If the whole world calls, I don't turn back I follow your voice on the narrow track You say my name You say my name You say my name You say my name And it lands on me You say my name You say my name You say my name You say my name Like nobody else can
