Lyrics
[Verse 1] You left the porch light on for me Though summer had already turned A paper cup beside the key And all the lessons we had learned The garden leaned against the gate With rosemary along the stone I was a little late But somehow still came home [Chorus] Stay awhile, the morning's kind There is bread cooling by the window Leave the heavy things behind Let the quiet take you where you need to go [Verse 2] We folded maps across the table Marked the roads we never took You told me every heart is able To begin with one small look Outside, the sparrows crossed the yard And sunlight found the kitchen floor Nothing had to be so hard As it had been before [Chorus] Stay awhile, the morning's kind There is bread cooling by the window Leave the heavy things behind Let the quiet take you where you need to go [Bridge] If the years come asking questions If the old ache calls your name I will keep a place beside me Not to fix you, not to change [Chorus] Stay awhile, the morning's kind There is bread cooling by the window Leave the heavy things behind Let the quiet take you where you need to go [Outro] The porch light fades into the blue The kettle sings, the day begins I found a softer way to you And you let the whole world in
