Lyrics
[Verse 1] I kept your cup by the sink For a week or two Little blue ring on the wood Like it knew you too Your scarf on the chair Still folds like your hands I pass by slow And I still understand [Pre-Chorus] If I touch the frame I can feel that day Soft as rain on glass Slowly far away [Chorus] Stay a little while Stay a little while My heart still learns your name Stay a little while Stay a little while I miss you in the quiet rain [Verse 2] The porch screen sighs When the evening leans in Your laugh comes back In the shape of the wind I made us tea Then forgot mine cooled One small bright ache In a darkened room [Pre-Chorus] If I close my eyes You come back so near Like a folded note I can still hear [Chorus] Stay a little while Stay a little while My heart still learns your name Stay a little while Stay a little while I miss you in the quiet rain [Bridge] Maybe time is kind Maybe time is slow But some soft goodbyes Never fully go So I let you be In the amber light Like a faded song That still feels right [Chorus] Stay a little while Stay a little while My heart still learns your name Stay a little while Stay a little while I miss you in the quiet rain [Outro] I keep the cup by the sink And the door half-open wide Just in case your gentle shadow Wants to settle by my side
