[Verse 1]
You left your coat on the chair
By the chipped blue paint
I still fold it like you might
Come back the same
The house holds your footsteps
In the warped front hall
I pass that old cracked window
And hear it all
[Pre-Chorus]
I set the table for two
Then I laugh at myself
Old habits cling
Like rain on the shelf
[Chorus]
Stay with me here
Stay with me now
I know the world turned
But I don’t know how
Stay with me here
By the river in the hollow
Stay with me now
Till the dark lets go tomorrow
[Verse 2]
Your mug has a hairline crack
Near the left side handle
I still pour too much milk
And let it settle
The porch light flickers twice
When the wind cuts through
I used to think that meant
You were missing too
[Pre-Chorus]
I caught your name in the steam
From the kettle’s breath
Some things don’t leave
They just learn to rest
[Chorus]
Stay with me here
Stay with me now
I know the world turned
But I don’t know how
Stay with me here
By the river in the hollow
Stay with me now
Till the dark lets go tomorrow
[Bridge]
If you’re only in the wood grain
If you’re only in the rain
If you’re only in the hours
That won’t say your name
Then touch my shoulder once
In the shape of a dream
Let me be the bank
Where your hurt can lean
[Final Chorus]
Stay with me here
Stay with me now
I hear your deep voice
In the timber somehow
Stay with me here
By the river in the hollow
Stay with me now
Till the dark lets go tomorrow
Stay with me here
I can carry this sorrow
Stay with me now
Till the dark lets go tomorrow
You left your coat on the chair
By the chipped blue paint
I still fold it like you might
Come back the same
The house holds your footsteps
In the warped front hall
I pass that old cracked window
And hear it all
[Pre-Chorus]
I set the table for two
Then I laugh at myself
Old habits cling
Like rain on the shelf
[Chorus]
Stay with me here
Stay with me now
I know the world turned
But I don’t know how
Stay with me here
By the river in the hollow
Stay with me now
Till the dark lets go tomorrow

Stay with me now
Till the dark lets go tomorrow
