[Verse 1] September in Casablanca My father's table, glass and papers I was twenty-two, just out of sight You were forty-one, passing through that night You barely noticed me Like I was part of the room But I was keeping your face In a private little frame [Pre-Chorus] And I knew the room had changed Before you ever did A glance can be a key If you know what to keep [Chorus] Thomas, you didn't know Thomas, you didn't know I'd remembered you Before you knew my name Thomas, you didn't know Thomas, you didn't know The joke was on you And I let it stay sweet (stay sweet) [Verse 2] Three years later, Ibiza August heat on linen and perfume My parents, investors, the same soft noise While you worked the room like you always do I came up light-footed Didn't give my full name Let you keep your small mistake Like a ribbon in my hand [Pre-Chorus] You smiled like we were strangers I smiled like I agreed Some truths are better When they start as a tease [Chorus] Thomas, you didn't know Thomas, you didn't know I'd remembered you Before you knew my name Thomas, you didn't know Thomas, you didn't know The joke was on you And I let it stay sweet (stay sweet) [Bridge] By morning, your hotel curtains Were pale against the sea You checked my name, my photographs And finally saw the link Ilias Naji's daughter Written there in the light You'd missed me three years earlier I hadn't missed you that night [Final Chorus] Thomas, now you know Thomas, now you know I remembered you Before you knew my name Thomas, now you know Thomas, now you know The joke was on you And I let it stay sweet (stay sweet)
