Lyrics
[Verse 1] Your cup leaves a ring On the old pine table Summer in the glass And your smile in the shade I fold up the day Like a note in my pocket Keep the quiet things That you said by the gate [Pre-Chorus] And the window stays open To the creek and the pines I can almost hear you Calling my name tonight [Chorus] Stay a little longer Stay by my side I keep your soft name Where the warm days hide Stay a little longer Hold this room light I’m still learning how to let A good thing drift by [Verse 2] Your shoes by the door Still lean the same way Dust on the frame Like a field after rain I touch the worn wood Where your fingers rested And the ache turns sweet Like a song I can’t name [Pre-Chorus] When the moon leans low On the porch and the lines I can almost feel you Moving through the pines [Chorus] Stay a little longer Stay by my side I keep your soft name Where the warm days hide Stay a little longer Hold this room light I’m still learning how to let A good thing drift by [Bridge] If time takes the road And it calls you away Leave me a small thread Of the blue in your day I’ll keep the front steps And the screen door song For the hush you left When you were here long [Chorus] Stay a little longer Stay by my side I keep your soft name Where the warm days hide Stay a little longer Hold this room light I’m still learning how to let A good thing drift by [Outro] Stay a little longer Stay a little longer In the warm, worn room Where my heart still lies
