Paroles
[Verse 1]
Your old blue cup beside the door
Still holds the rain from yesterday
I trace the crack along its rim
And let the quiet have its say
[Chorus]
Stay here, where the hours turn slow
Stay near, where the small lamps glow
No need to name what pulls us through
I’ll keep this stillness here with you
[Verse 2]
The ferry ropes are wet with salt
A gull calls once above the bay
You fold your coat across your knees
And watch the water change its gray
[Chorus]
Stay here, where the hours turn slow
Stay near, where the small lamps glow
No need to name what pulls us through
I’ll keep this stillness here with you
[Bridge]
One breath, then another
The room loosens its hold
Your hand finds my hand
And the night turns gold
[Outro]
Your old blue cup beside the door
The rain has left; we’re here once more
Your old blue cup beside the door
Still holds the rain from yesterday
I trace the crack along its rim
And let the quiet have its say
[Chorus]
Stay here, where the hours turn slow
Stay near, where the small lamps glow
No need to name what pulls us through
I’ll keep this stillness here with you
[Verse 2]
The ferry ropes are wet with salt
A gull calls once above the bay
You fold your coat across your knees
And watch the water change its gray
[Chorus]
Stay here, where the hours turn slow
Stay near, where the small lamps glow
No need to name what pulls us through
I’ll keep this stillness here with you
[Bridge]
One breath, then another
The room loosens its hold
Your hand finds my hand
And the night turns gold
[Outro]
Your old blue cup beside the door
The rain has left; we’re here once more
