Текст песни
[Verse 1] You leave your teacup by the window A crescent cooling on the sill The pages of the Sunday paper Turn softly when the house goes still I keep the blue scarf that you lent me Folded beside the bedroom chair Some things are small enough to carry And still can fill the empty air [Pre-Chorus] If I follow where the quiet rises If I let the old doors open wide Maybe all the words we never finished Can find a gentler place to hide [Chorus] Stay a little longer in the doorway Let the morning take its time I can hear your kindness in the silence Like a bell beneath the rhyme Stay a little longer, don't explain it No, we don't have to make it new There is room inside this tender distance For me to still remember you [Verse 2] The garden leans into December Rosemary dark against the stone I write your name beside a grocery list Then cross it out and walk back home The kettle starts its patient singing A sparrow lands beside the gate I am learning how to hold the missing Without asking it to wait [Pre-Chorus] And the higher that the daylight gathers And the farther every season goes I can feel the shape of what you gave me In the way my quiet courage grows [Chorus] Stay a little longer in the doorway Let the morning take its time I can hear your kindness in the silence Like a bell beneath the rhyme Stay a little longer, don't explain it No, we don't have to make it new There is room inside this tender distance For me to still remember you [Bridge] Just the chair, the cup, the window Just my hand against the frame I won't turn the past into a promise I won't make the leaving mean blame [Final Chorus] Stay a little longer in the doorway Let the morning take its time I can hear your kindness in the silence And the answer underneath the rhyme Stay a little longer, don't explain it There is nothing left to prove There is room inside this tender distance For the love to change its tune [Outro] The blue scarf rests beside the window The house grows soft, the day moves through I leave the door a little open Not for you—just for the truth
