Mi Nonvre

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You left your blue cup by the sink The one with paint worn from the rim I turn it over in my hands Like it might tell me where you’ve been [Pre-Chorus] I say your name into the room Then let the silence answer slow [Chorus] Mi nonvre, stay a little longer Mi nonvre, don’t become a dream I keep a place beside the window For the person you used to be [Verse 2] The bakery on Mercer closed at six The owner saved your usual bread I took it home beneath my coat And set it down beside the bed [Pre-Chorus] I say your name, the kettle sings And something in me softens then [Chorus] Mi nonvre, stay a little longer Mi nonvre, don’t become a dream I keep a place beside the window For the person you used to be [Bridge] If you come back, you don’t need reasons You don’t need to explain the miles Just leave your shoes beside the doorway And let me see your tired smile [Final Chorus] Mi nonvre, stay a little longer Mi nonvre, come sit here with me I’ll move the cup beside the window And make room for who you’ll be [Outro] Mi nonvre Come sit here with me
