Verse 1

You leave the window open to the pines

A little rain comes in across the floor

The kettle clicks; the evening takes its time

And fern leaves lean against the kitchen door

Pre-Chorus

I hear the creek beyond the garden wall

The branches answer softly when they bend

You say my name; the day lets go of all

The quiet makes a room for us again

Chorus

Stay here while the river turns

Stay until the cold air warms

With the earth beneath our feet

And the whole wide world in reach

Stay here, let the hours pass

Like the clouds above the grass

When the morning finds us near
