مقهى أربعة وعشرين

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The door keeps time with every coat A bell above the counter floats You warm your hands around a cup While dawn is still a rumor A map is folded by your plate You say you missed the last train late I slide the sugar, let you choose Which road you want to lose [Chorus] Stay awhile, the coffee’s on There’s room for one more quiet soul Strangers come with pockets full Of half-made plans and stories told Stay awhile, the clock can wait The window holds the evening blue This little café keeps a place For dreamers passing through [Verse 2] A student draws a paper moon A tired cook hums out of tune Two travelers trade a place name Like a coin they’ve never spent You turn your cup to catch the heat Your suitcase rests beside your feet No one asks you where you’re bound Till you’re ready to leave town [Chorus] Stay awhile, the coffee’s on There’s room for one more quiet soul Strangers come with pockets full Of half-made plans and stories told Stay awhile, the clock can wait The window holds the evening blue This little café keeps a place For dreamers passing through [Bridge] When the first bus grumbles by And pale light finds the rooftops high We’ll fold the night into your coat And send you on your way [Final Chorus] Stay awhile, the coffee’s on There’s room for one more quiet soul Strangers come with pockets full Of half-made plans and stories told Stay awhile, the clock can wait There’s one more seat beside the view This little café keeps a place For dreamers passing through [Outro] The door swings wide, the kettle sings Another cup, another spring
