Текст песни
[Verse 1] You left the window by the garden ajar A cup on the sill, a thread in the jar The aprons were folded, the kettle was dry And dust held the shape of the afternoon sky [Chorus] Stay a little, memory Rest your hand beside mine Every small and ordinary thing Turns tender with time [Verse 2] The old wooden gate still leans to the west The sparrows take turns in the roof’s broken nest I found your blue ribbon beneath the pine And carried it home in the pocket of mine [Chorus] Stay a little, memory Rest your hand beside mine Every small and ordinary thing Turns tender with time [Bridge] If the years are a river, let them wander slow Past the fields we knew and the places we would go I don’t need to hold you to know you remain In the scent of the soil after summer rain [Chorus] Stay a little, memory Rest your hand beside mine Every small and ordinary thing Turns tender with time [Outro] The window is open, the evening is kind Your blue ribbon rests where the sunlight can find A cup on the sill, a hush in the pine And one little song folding into the night
