[Verse 1] You left your blue wool scarf Across the kitchen chair A little thread pulled loose Still hanging softly there I warmed the kettle twice And watched the window steam Your note beside the sugar bowl Was shorter than a dream [Pre-Chorus] If I could turn the morning back Before the wheels began I’d hold the quiet in your hands And tell you where I stand [Chorus] Stay a little longer in the room Let the fading afternoon make room For the words we never learned to say For the small mistakes that slipped away I don’t need a promise carved in stone Just one more minute before you go home [Verse 2] The garden gate still leans The way you left it last A robin takes the saucer Where we set the crumbs at half past I found your old blue pen Behind the telephone It writes in careful, uneven lines As if it knows I’m alone [Pre-Chorus] And every simple thing I touch Turns tender in my hands The cup, the coat, the open door The life I understand [Chorus] Stay a little longer in the room Let the fading afternoon make room For the words we never learned to say For the small mistakes that slipped away I don’t need a promise carved in stone Just one more minute before you go home [Bridge] Only your name Only this chair Only the sound Of breathing air If love is leaving Let it leave slow Give me a moment To let you go [Final Chorus] Stay a little longer in the room Let the fading afternoon make room For the words we finally dare to say For the gentle parts that stayed I don’t need a promise carved in stone Your quiet kindness follows me home [Outro] The kettle cools The window clears I fold the scarf And keep you near
