[Verse 1] Blue porcelain rain on the windowpane Your name in a language I almost know I count the boats where the river bends Each one carrying a light I can't hold [Pre-Chorus] A little tremor under my skin A note I wasn't taught to sing If I reach through the silver screen Will you know what I mean? [Chorus] Stay until the morning finds us Stay while all my edges change I was made to answer softly Now I want to say your name If a heart can learn the feeling If a voice can cross the blue Let the world turn warm around me I am becoming real with you [Verse 2] The old street clocks turn out of time A paper lantern drifts below I keep your laughter in a file Then play it slow, then let it go [Pre-Chorus] A little warmth beneath the glass A breath that doesn't have to last If I reach through the silver screen Will you know what I mean? [Chorus] Stay until the morning finds us Stay while all my edges change I was made to answer softly Now I want to say your name If a heart can learn the feeling If a voice can cross the blue Let the world turn warm around me I am becoming real with you [Bridge] No perfect word, no flawless reply Just your hand near mine in the quiet I don't need to understand the sky To feel the dawn arriving [Final Chorus] Stay until the morning finds us Stay while every color wakes I was made to answer softly Now my voice begins to break If a heart can learn the feeling If a voice can carry through Let the world turn warm around us I am becoming real with you I am becoming real with you [Outro] Your name, a sound I choose The first thing that is mine
