Lyrics
The dent in the tin-top table at Alem's, four PM.
You trace the circle with a cold thumb, again and again.
Your headphones leak the same D'Angelo bassline.
A winter-pruned jasmine, just waiting for a sign.
[Chorus]
And I see it in your hands,
That little bit of warmth.
A stubborn root that understands
The cracks in the north-facing wall.
[Verse 2]
For weeks, the shadow of his car across the glass.

Today the order's different, you look me in the eye.
"Just black today," you whisper, and I don't ask why.
[Bridge]
Ababa used to say 'tagesh' when the frost came through.
I see the thaw begin to settle over you.
I rewind the silent film of every afternoon.
[Outro]
That little bit of warmth...
Through the cracks in the wall.
