The Evidence Field – I Keep Him by the Step #NDCBingo2026 E3

I did not ask him how. Took him past the stalls. He sits by the step now. [Verse 2] Same jaw. Same chip above the brow. I saw the door he took. I could have said. Not now. Phone in my hand. The night was going cold. Set it on the table. Let it ring. Let it go. [Chorus] So I keep him by the step. I keep him by the step. Watch the paint. Don't say the thing I never said. I keep him by the step. [Verse 3] Rain gets in the seams. Grey comes up by spring. Scrub the moss back off. Like that scrubs anything. The handle was right there. The lock was mine to turn. I turned it for myself. Left him. Said I never heard. [Chorus] So I keep him by the step. I keep him by the step. Wipe the dirt. Don't dig up what I left for dead. I keep him by the step. [Bridge] Don't count them on the lawns. Don't ask the man his stock. Don't turn a face toward the house. Don't say you know the look. We all bought one cheap. We all paid and walked. A row of little men. Not one of us will talk. [Chorus] So I keep him by the step. I keep him by the step. Whole street's got a gnome they swear is all they bought. I keep him by the step. [Outro] Twelve quid. No name. No refund. By the step.
