Verse 1

Your eyelash stands like a tiny flag

By the blue basin where we leave our coats

You laugh, and all the ordinary things

Turn into little boats that keep us afloat

Pre-Chorus

The workshop lets the evening go

The hallway hums, the windows shine

You take my hand; the whole day slows

And every odd thing falls in line

Chorus

Stay with me, my minion heart

Past the tin-roof rain and the tired day

In this small room, wherever we are

Your quiet love is where I want to stay

Stay with me, through thick and thin

Your smile makes every rough edge kind

In this little life we’re building in
