Keep The Gap
Keep The Gap
Verse 1
Named the accordion, named the fish stall Named the boat repaint, the bell, the shore Named the busker's string, named the oil, named it all Every name I gave you was an open door
Verse 2
Named the chairs, blue, a hundred deep Named the boy who asks for nothing, twice Named my street awake and half asleep Named the church for naming's sake - precise
Chorus
Keep the gap I built it for us both Keep the gap It's how the whole town knows You can wave at my window But don't bring the story back Keep the gap
Verse 3
You asked me once, I watched you ask The whole porch leaned in to hear I said nothing. Set down my glass. The best held thing has no second gear.
Chorus
Keep the gap I built it for us both Keep the gap It's how the whole town knows You can wave at my window But don't bring the story back Keep the gap
Instrumental
Outro
I kept the lid on You kept the bench warm Walk on, walk on I'm glad you were watching When I chose the not-telling Walk on
