Verse 1

You left your gloves beside the door,

One button loose, the lining worn.

I set them by the kitchen light

And let the kettle cool tonight.

Verse 2

Your note was folded into four,

The paper soft along its fold.

I read it once, then read no more;

Some words grow heavier when told.

Chorus

Stay for the quiet, stay for the rain,

Stay till the window turns silver again.

No grand promises, nothing to prove,

Just one more slow hour beside you.
