Текст песни
[Verse 1] You leave your teacup by the window A crescent where the porcelain dried I trace the little ring with my thumb And let the afternoon decide The old coat waits behind the doorway Its wooden button coming loose I hear the floorboards answer softly As if they still remember you [Pre-Chorus] And every quiet chord climbs higher Past the roof and through the blue I find a little room inside me That still makes space for you [Chorus] Stay for the part we never finished Stay while the kettle starts to sing I don’t need promises or answers Just one more gentle thing Hold me like a page kept folded Safe between the years we knew If tomorrow takes the morning Tonight I’ll sit with you [Verse 2] The garden leans toward late September One red tomato on the vine You used to cut it into quarters And salt the edges, four at a time A radio beneath the cupboard Turns a familiar tune to air I smile before I even notice Your empty chair is waiting there [Pre-Chorus] And every quiet chord climbs higher Past the roof and through the blue I find a little room inside me That still makes space for you [Chorus] Stay for the part we never finished Stay while the kettle starts to sing I don’t need promises or answers Just one more gentle thing Hold me like a page kept folded Safe between the years we knew If tomorrow takes the morning Tonight I’ll sit with you [Bridge] No grand goodbye, no final letter Just your hand warming mine The room grows small, the world grows kinder For a little while [Final Chorus] Stay for the part we never finished Stay while the kettle starts to sing I don’t need promises or answers Just one more gentle thing Hold me like a page kept folded Safe between the years we knew If tomorrow takes the morning Tonight I’ll sit with you [Outro] The cup is cool beside the window But I can still feel what was true
