Stay Here A Little Longer

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You leave your blue coat on my chair And rain beads silver on the sleeve I pour the tea you like too strong You laugh and say, “You know me” [Pre-Chorus] The kettle clicks, the room turns still Your hand finds mine beside the sill [Chorus] Stay here a little longer Let the whole day lose its hold Your cheek against my shoulder Is the only place I want to go No grand promise, no perfect line Just your fingers folded into mine Stay here a little longer And let this quiet be ours tonight [Verse 2] We split the last warm piece of bread You save the crust and give it me Your old blue mug, my chipped white plate A small, familiar kind of peace [Pre-Chorus] The window fogs; you draw a heart Then take my hand and blur the mark [Chorus] Stay here a little longer Let the whole day lose its hold Your cheek against my shoulder Is the only place I want to go No grand promise, no perfect line Just your fingers folded into mine Stay here a little longer And let this quiet be ours tonight [Bridge] When the years put silver in our hair When the paint peels from the kitchen door I’ll still know the sound of your steps And make room for you, as before [Final Chorus] Stay here a little longer Let the whole day lose its hold Your cheek against my shoulder Is the only place I want to go No grand promise, no perfect line Just your fingers folded into mine Stay here a little longer And let this quiet be ours tonight [Outro] Your blue coat on my chair Your hand still warm in mine
