Текст песни
[Куплет 1] You left your blue scarf on the kitchen chair A little thread caught in the morning air I folded the paper from the corner store And found your number written there once more [Предприпев] If i take the long way past the avenue Every quiet window turns me back to you One more step, one more note Let the careful silence open its throat [Припев] Stay for the tea, stay for the rain Stay while the old house settles again I won’t ask tomorrow to promise a thing Just put your hand where the warm cups ring Stay for the tea, stay close to me Let the room remember what we used to be [Куплет 2] The basil by the sink has started to lean Toward the little patch of afternoon green Your book is open near the bedside lamp A page held down beneath a postage stamp [Предприпев] And if the years have changed the shape of us There’s still a door that opens without a fuss One more breath, one more phrase We can meet each other halfway [Припев] Stay for the tea, stay for the rain Stay while the old house settles again I won’t ask tomorrow to promise a thing Just put your hand where the warm cups ring Stay for the tea, stay close to me Let the room remember what we used to be [Бридж] No cello, no clock, no need to explain Just your sleeve brushing mine by the windowpane If this is the last soft hour we’re given Let it be honest, let it be forgiven [Final chorus] Stay for the tea, stay for the rain Stay while the old house settles again I won’t ask tomorrow to promise a thing Just put your hand where the warm cups ring Stay for the tea, stay close to me Let the room remember what we chose to keep [Аутро] The blue scarf rests on the kitchen chair And your hand is warm in the quiet there
