Lyric

You arrive with the last train humming

Silk coat folded over your arm

At the corner café, cups are cooling

You make the quiet feel like a charm

I trace the steam above your coffee

You tell me stories, low and slow

Every detail lands so softly

Like a secret only we should know

Stay a little longer

Let the evening take its time

Your hand resting on my shoulder

Makes the whole room fall in line

Come sit close, let the night unfold

Tell me what you never told

In this small room, everything feels new

I could spend the dark with you

Come sit close, no need to explain

Let the silence say your name

When the morning finds us, we'll decide

But tonight, stay by my side

Outside, the bakery starts its ovens

A delivery truck rolls away

Inside, your laughter keeps on turning

A simple Tuesday into a holiday

Your silver ring taps out a rhythm

Against the saucer, bright and light

I catch the warmth beneath your wisdom

And lose my sense of wrong and right

Stay a little longer

Let the evening take its time

Your hand resting on my shoulder

Makes the whole room fall in line

Come sit close, let the night unfold

Tell me what you never told

In this small room, everything feels new

I could spend the dark with you

Come sit close, no need to explain

Let the silence say your name

When the morning finds us, we'll decide

But tonight, stay by my side

No promises carved in stone

No map for where this goes

Just your coat beside my own

And the tenderness we chose

Come sit close, let the night unfold

Tell me what you never told

In this small room, everything feels new

I could spend the dark with you

Come sit close, no need to explain

Let the silence say your name

When the morning finds us, we'll decide

But tonight, stay by my side

Stay by my side

Till the first buses rise

Stay by my side

With the morning in your eyes
