Verse 1

You leave your coat beside the door

The kettle settles into song

I watch you fold the paper napkin

Like the day has lasted long

Verse 2

Your hand rests easy on the table

Mine finds yours without a word

We let the quiet fill the kitchen

While the evening gathers near

Chorus

Stay here, stay here beside me

Let the hours take their time

Your breath meeting mine so softly

Your heart keeping close to mine

Verse 3

The old clock skips a little minute
