Lyrics
[Verse 1] I fold your note in two By the chipped blue bowl Sun on the tablecloth Slow across my knuckles Your name stays on my tongue Like peach jam in June I wash the cups alone And keep the quiet room [Pre-Chorus] The porchlight blinks at dusk Like it knows my steps I stand there holding on To what I can't forget [Chorus] Stay a little longer Don't let the night take you Stay a little longer My heart still makes room In the old front window Your shadow comes through Stay a little longer I am still with you [Verse 2] The cedar in the yard Still leans toward your song I hear it in the rain When the evening runs long The quilt on the back chair Still smells like your soap I trace every worn seam Like it might bring you home [Pre-Chorus] The porchlight blinks at dusk Like it knows my steps I stand there holding on To what I can't forget [Chorus] Stay a little longer Don't let the night take you Stay a little longer My heart still makes room In the old front window Your shadow comes through Stay a little longer I am still with you [Bridge] If time is a river Then mine circles back Around every small thing That you once had The glass, the warm wood The soft crack of the door One deep breath and I'm There on that floor [Final Chorus] Stay a little longer Don't let the night take you Stay a little longer My heart still makes room In the old front window Your shadow comes through Stay a little longer I am still with you [Outro] I am still with you I am still with you
