Stay Close, Darling

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You left your blue scarf on my kitchen chair I found it folded Sunday morning there A little scent of soap, a thread of gold One small reminder I was not alone [Pre-Chorus] When the week gets heavy on your shoulders Come and rest your head beside mine No grand promise written on a paper Just this hand reaching for your hand tonight [Chorus] Stay close, darling, stay close Let the quiet tell you what I know Your name settles softly in my heart Stay close, darling, don't drift far [Verse 2] We share the last two peaches from the bowl You laugh and say I always take the whole I save the sweeter half and pass it back You raise your eyes and put me on the track [Pre-Chorus] If the morning comes with unanswered questions We can meet them one by one I don't need a perfect kind of living I just need to know you're where I run [Chorus] Stay close, darling, stay close Let the quiet tell you what I know Your name settles softly in my heart Stay close, darling, don't drift far [Bridge] And if the seasons turn the garden brown I'll keep a place for you when leaves come down Through every door, through every change of view The simplest road keeps leading me to you [Chorus] Stay close, darling, stay close Let the quiet tell you what I know Your name settles softly in my heart Stay close, darling, don't drift far [Outro] Stay close Rest easy I'm here I'm here
