[Verse 1] You lock the door, smile like a flame My cold old name sounds warm in your mouth I keep my shadow folded neat By your red scarf on the chair Your pulse is small, a tender drum I count it low, like a secret vow You touch my face like you believe I can still learn how to stay [Pre-Chorus] All my dead years Fall away At your front step I don't pray I just stand here At your side Wanting one night As my life [Chorus] Stay with me till dawn Stay with me, my love Midnight is enough Midnight is enough Stay with me till dawn Stay with me, my love If the sun takes me I was yours at night [Verse 2] You laugh at the silk of my old black coat At the ivory ring I never wear I watch your hands on the window glass Tracing a world I can't enter I never asked for mercy I never wanted peace I only wanted your warm breath On the edge of my teeth [Pre-Chorus] All my dead years Fall away At your front step I don't pray I just need you Close tonight Let the dark be Kind and wide [Chorus] Stay with me till dawn Stay with me, my love Midnight is enough Midnight is enough Stay with me till dawn Stay with me, my love If the sun takes me I was yours at night [Bridge] When the curtains thin And the pale east glows I'll turn my face Where the light first grows You can hold my hand You can say my name One last time Like a holy thing [Final Chorus] Stay with me till dawn Stay with me, my love Midnight is enough Midnight is enough Stay with me till dawn Stay with me, my love If the sun takes me I was yours at night Stay with me till dawn Stay with me, my love Midnight is enough Midnight is enough Stay with me till dawn Stay with me, my love If the sun takes me I was yours at night
