You’ll Remember

You'll remember me
When the taxi radio starts to sing
You'll remember me
When the winter puts my name on everything

You left my radio on the kitchen floor
Like the weather would not change no more
You wanted applause more than my hand
Traded the garden for the grandstand
New friends shine like borrowed rings
Wait till winter, see what it brings

But love like this does not disappear
It hides in songs you didn't want to hear

You'll remember me
When the taxi radio starts to sing
You'll remember me
When the winter puts my name on everything

Remember — oh (remember)
Remember — oh (remember)
Not because I curse you, not because I plead
But because I loved you clean

New hands may hold you in the dark
New streets may hide the old spark
But when the piano bends that way
You'll hear the truth you threw away
One day the DJ plays our song
In a room where you don't belong

I'm not cursing you, I'm letting go
Some lessons only leaving can show
When the taxi drops you at an empty gate
And the kettle sings for just one plate

I sold the guitar in April. I needed the rent
The man who bought it plays weddings out in Tembisa
So when you hear it, and you will
That's not me waiting. That's just the song outliving us both

You'll remember me
When the taxi radio starts to sing
You'll remember me
I'm not there anymore. The song still is

One day this song will find you
