lyrics

I said “the thing,” but I meant your name

Now my mouth moves funny, still it feels the same

At Makola, by the bags and tins

I heard your word in my lips again

I caught myself in the queue by the van

Poured your word in my talk, and I didn’t plan

Now it sits on my tongue like a coin

Rolling round when I call your point

Your word, your word

Your word, your word

I use your word now

Your word, your word

At the chop bar, I asked for that one plate

Then I said your word, and I smiled too late

In Osu, by the ice and cups

Even my brothers said I picked it up

Your word, your word

Your word, your word

I use your word now

Your word, your word

Now when I reach for the blue enamel bowl

Your word comes first, then I lose control

From Kaneshie to the taxi stand

Your sound is living in my hand

Your word, your word

Your word, your word

I use your word now

Your word, your word
