Mani, Mani

Lirik

[Verse 1] I found a note in the pocket of my coat Three little words in a crooked blue stroke You said, “Meet me where the old trains turn” So I grabbed my keys and watched the kettle burn [Pre-Chorus] No big plan, no perfect line Just your laugh arriving right on time [Chorus] Mani, mani, call my name Turn a quiet room into a summer game Mani, mani, there you are Two paper cups and a borrowed guitar If the whole day slips away I’ll still remember what you say Mani, mani, stay awhile You make the long way home feel worthwhile [Verse 2] We counted coins for a slice of pear Shared one jacket in the station air A red bus rolled past with an empty sign You drew a little sun on the fogged-up glass beside mine [Pre-Chorus] No big speech, no grand design Just your shoulder leaning close to mine [Chorus] Mani, mani, call my name Turn a quiet room into a summer game Mani, mani, there you are Two paper cups and a borrowed guitar If the whole day slips away I’ll still remember what you say Mani, mani, stay awhile You make the long way home feel worthwhile [Bridge] When the shop doors close And the last train goes We’ll take the stairs two at a time You keep the change I’ll keep your name Written small beside mine [Final Chorus] Mani, mani, call my name Turn a quiet room into a summer game Mani, mani, there you are Two paper cups and a borrowed guitar If the whole day slips away I’ll still remember what you say Mani, mani, stay awhile You make the long way home feel worthwhile [Outro] Mani, mani, stay awhile Mani, mani, make me smile
