One More Word

White tiles, my bare feet, midnight
Your records stacked on the counter
I pack them sleeve by sleeve
Alphabetical, your way
Roxy on top, face up
A smile I've been saving for this

You open your mouth to speak
I tilt my head, I wait
This kitchen is my stage now

Go on, say one more word
I dare you, one more word
The box is in your hands now
Every record, taped and tidy
Go on, say one more word

Your Bowie, your Blondie, boxed
The needle you never cleaned
I kept the one you played me
First night, my kitchen, this floor
It's under my pillow upstairs
Finders keepers, darling

Your car keys by the fruit bowl
Your jacket on the chair
The door knows where it is

Go on, say one more word
I dare you, one more word
The box is in your hands now
Every record, taped and tidy
Go on, say one more word

You're standing there rehearsing
Some speech about forever
I hand the box across
Careful, love, it's heavy

Go on, say one more word
I dare you, one more word
The box is in your hands now
Every record, taped and tidy
Go on, say one more word
