歌詞

You arrive while the room is turning gold

With a paper cup warming your hands

Every little story you leave untold

Finds a place where the quiet understands

Take your time, no need to explain

Let the evening loosen every chain

Stay awhile, let the slow hours unfold

Tell me what your heart has learned to keep

In the hush between the silver and the gold

We can make a promise soft enough to sleep

Stay awhile, there is nowhere else to be

Let the gentle air move through you and me

On the table, two spoons touch and ring

A small sound beneath the conversation

You smile at the simplest kind of thing

And the room becomes its own vacation

Take your time, no need to explain

Let the evening loosen every chain

Stay awhile, let the slow hours unfold

Tell me what your heart has learned to keep

In the hush between the silver and the gold

We can make a promise soft enough to sleep

Stay awhile, there is nowhere else to be

Let the gentle air move through you and me

If tomorrow asks us where we went

We will say we followed something true

No grand design, no monument

Just a little more of me and you

Stay awhile, let the slow hours unfold

Tell me what your heart has learned to keep

In the hush between the silver and the gold

We can make a promise soft enough to sleep

Stay awhile, there is nowhere else to be

Let the gentle air move through you and me

Stay awhile

Let the room grow still

Stay awhile

Only if you will
