[Verse 1] You leave your teacup by the window A pale ring on the wooden sill I fold the morning paper slowly As if the room might hold you still Your blue scarf rests beside the doorway The one you wore in early spring I touch the frayed edge with my fingers And feel the quiet gathering [Pre-Chorus] Maybe the road turns back someday Maybe the rain will clear I keep a little room inside me For the sound of you near [Chorus] Come sit with me where the kettle cools Where the old clock counts the hours I’ll tell you all the tender truths That grew between the flowers If your hands are tired, take mine awhile No promise has to stay Just bring that almost-forgotten smile And let the evening sway [Verse 2] The neighbor’s dog is in the garden A sparrow lands along the fence The afternoon moves without warning Through every small coincidence I found your note beneath the cookbook Three words faded into blue I read them once, then set them down Like I was learning how to choose [Pre-Chorus] Maybe the road turns back someday Maybe the rain will clear I keep a little room inside me For the sound of you near [Chorus] Come sit with me where the kettle cools Where the old clock counts the hours I’ll tell you all the tender truths That grew between the flowers If your hands are tired, take mine awhile No promise has to stay Just bring that almost-forgotten smile And let the evening sway [Bridge] For now, the lamp is low The hallway holds its breath I have a song I never showed you And nothing else to mend [Final Chorus] Come sit with me where the kettle cools Where the old clock counts the hours I’ll tell you all the tender truths That grew between the flowers If your hands are tired, take mine awhile No promise has to stay Just bring that almost-forgotten smile And let the evening sway [Outro] The cup is warm between my hands The room is soft and still I leave the doorway open If you ever will
