Stay A Little

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You leave your blue cup by the sink A paper moon tucked in the book I trace the ring it left behind And wonder what you meant to say [Pre-Chorus] The curtains stir, the kettle cools Your coat still hangs beside the door I know the shape of being here I’m learning what the quiet’s for [Chorus] Stay a little in this room While the morning takes its time Let the ordinary bloom In the small things left behind If you turn and look my way I’ll be right where you began Stay a little, let the day Find us softer than it can [Verse 2] A sparrow lands upon the sill Then lifts before I call it home Your note is folded into thirds The ink has blurred where rain came through [Pre-Chorus] The curtains stir, the kettle cools Your coat still hangs beside the door I know the shape of being here I’m learning what the quiet’s for [Chorus] Stay a little in this room While the morning takes its time Let the ordinary bloom In the small things left behind If you turn and look my way I’ll be right where you began Stay a little, let the day Find us softer than it can [Bridge] Maybe love is not a promise That the leaving won’t arrive Maybe it’s the way your handprint Keeps the window warm awhile [Final Chorus] Stay a little in this room While the morning takes its time Let the ordinary bloom In the small things left behind If you turn and look my way I’ll be right where you began Stay a little, let the day Find us softer than it can [Outro] Your blue cup by the sink The quiet settling in
