Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You left your blue coat by the door
Salt dried in a pale line at the cuff
The kettle clicks; the gulls cry once
Beyond the dunes, the tide turns slow
[Chorus]
Stay a little while with me
Let the sea wind find its way
Through the open kitchen window
As the afternoon slips away
[Verse 2]
Your mug is warm against my hands
A postcard curls beside the bread
We name the boats beyond the point
And let the quiet say the rest
[Chorus]
Stay a little while with me
Let the sea wind find its way
Through the open kitchen window
As the afternoon slips away
[Outro]
When the last pale sail is gone
Stay until the kettle’s cold
[Verse 1] You left your blue coat by the door Salt dried in a pale line at the cuff The kettle clicks; the gulls cry once Beyond the dunes, the tide turns slow [Chorus] Stay a little while with me Let the sea wind find its way Through the open kitchen window As the afternoon slips away [Verse 2] Your mug is warm against my hands A postcard curls beside the bread We name the boats beyond the point And let the quiet say the rest [Chorus] Stay a little while with me Let the sea wind find its way Through the open kitchen window As the afternoon slips away [Outro] When the last pale sail is gone Stay until the kettle’s cold You left your blue coat by the door
Salt dried in a pale line at the cuff
The kettle clicks; the gulls cry once
Beyond the dunes, the tide turns slow
[Chorus]
Stay a little while with me
Let the sea wind find its way
Through the open kitchen window
As the afternoon slips away
[Verse 2]
Your mug is warm against my hands
A postcard curls beside the bread
We name the boats beyond the point
And let the quiet say the rest
[Chorus]
Stay a little while with me
Let the sea wind find its way
Through the open kitchen window
As the afternoon slips away
[Outro]
When the last pale sail is gone
Stay until the kettle’s cold
