Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You left your blue cup by the kitchen sink
A little ring of tea, a note in faded ink
The Sunday market folded up its striped awnings
I took the long way home beneath the tamarind
[Chorus]
Take your time, my dear
There’s room for both of us right here
When the hard day loosens its hold
We’ll share the bread while it’s still warm
[Verse 2]
The baker knows your order, saves the heel
You laugh and say the small things make it real
A bus sighs past the corner, carrying the rain
You brush the water from my sleeve again
[Chorus]
Take your time, my dear
There’s room for both of us right here
When the hard day loosens its hold
We’ll share the bread while it’s still warm
[Bridge]
No need to promise every mile
Just sit with me a little while
The kettle sings, the evening turns
The window keeps the warmth we earn
[Chorus]
Take your time, my dear
There’s room for both of us right here
When the hard day loosens its hold
We’ll share the bread while it’s still warm
[Outro]
Still warm, still warm
We’ll share the bread while it’s still warm
You left your blue cup by the kitchen sink
A little ring of tea, a note in faded ink
The Sunday market folded up its striped awnings
I took the long way home beneath the tamarind
[Chorus]
Take your time, my dear
There’s room for both of us right here
When the hard day loosens its hold
We’ll share the bread while it’s still warm
[Verse 2]
The baker knows your order, saves the heel
You laugh and say the small things make it real
A bus sighs past the corner, carrying the rain
You brush the water from my sleeve again
[Chorus]
Take your time, my dear
There’s room for both of us right here
When the hard day loosens its hold
We’ll share the bread while it’s still warm
[Bridge]
No need to promise every mile
Just sit with me a little while
The kettle sings, the evening turns
The window keeps the warmth we earn
[Chorus]
Take your time, my dear
There’s room for both of us right here
When the hard day loosens its hold
We’ll share the bread while it’s still warm
[Outro]
Still warm, still warm
We’ll share the bread while it’s still warm
