歌詞

The ribbon slips between the pages

Hold my place, old friend

Even the sweetest journey needs

A bench along the way

I mark the page, I lift the cup

The story learns to stay

The tea has cooled to perfect

The way tea always knows

Rest a while, come apart

The story keeps its place

Come away and rest a while

The kind command of grace

I sip and let the chapters breathe

And stretch my reading shoulder

The lamb looks up to check on me

Its chin upon the folder

The lamp, the steam, the closed soft book

A still life, and I'm in it

Rest a while, come apart

The story keeps its place

Come away and rest a while

The kind command of grace

A bookmark is a promise kept

Between the tale and me:

I will return, and you will wait

And in between there's tea

Mmm... mmm... mmm

Rest a while, come apart

The story keeps its place

Come away and rest a while

The kind command of grace

Rest a while, come apart

The story keeps its place

Come away and rest a while

The kind command of grace

The ribbon holds the pages and

The tea is holding me
