[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
