Verse 1

You leave your teacup by the window

A crescent stain beside the book

I find the warmth your hands abandoned

And feel the tenderness you took

The morning folds across the table

Your sweater rests upon my chair

I hear the promise in the silence

The quiet proof that you were there

Pre-Chorus

And if the whole world turns uncertain

If every map forgets our way

I’ll know the road by how you hold me

I’ll know your heart by what you say

Chorus

Stay close, my love, the night is gentle

Your name is safe beneath my tongue
