Lyrics
[Verse 1] You leave your blue coat by my kitchen chair Rain in the cuffs, warm dust in your hair I pour two cups from the chipped white pot You tell me the little things nobody asks about [Pre-Chorus] And I know the shape of quiet now When your hand finds mine somehow [Chorus] Stay a little longer, love Let the kettle lose its steam I could spend my whole life learning Every kindness in your hands Stay a little longer, love You make an ordinary room Feel like somewhere I was meant to be Somewhere I can come home to you [Verse 2] We count the apples in the paper bag Laugh when the smallest one rolls beneath the mat Your old harmonica rests beside the bread A silver thread of Sunday through the words you never said [Pre-Chorus] And I know the shape of trust In the way you wait for us [Chorus] Stay a little longer, love Let the kettle lose its steam I could spend my whole life learning Every kindness in your hands Stay a little longer, love You make an ordinary room Feel like somewhere I was meant to be Somewhere I can come home to you [Bridge] If the years put gray along our sleeves If the garden gives us fewer leaves I’ll still reach across the narrow bed For the familiar warmth beside my head [Final Chorus] Stay a little longer, love Let the evening settle in I could spend my whole life choosing All the ways to choose you again Stay a little longer, love You make an ordinary room Feel like somewhere I was meant to be Somewhere I can come home to you [Outro] The cups go cold, the house grows still Your hand is warm against my fingertips
