+ Show full styles

[Verse 1]
The tiles were still dark
from the rain just before
through the glass doors
music drifted to the roof Drops on the tables
in circles of light
the city far below us
we waited in silence You sat by the railing
the flask in your lap
a patch on your sleeve
stitched in pale thread A boy rubbed his hands
red from the wind
you poured him some tea
till the steam veiled his face His father asked softly: „What do you say?” The Boy replied: — „Thank you.”
You screwed the lid on
and looked up again [Pre-Chorus]
Then you lifted the flask
and held it tipped low
as if you already knew
how little was left You took out two cups
and shifted aside
poured the last of the tea
half into each [Chorus]
You made enough for two
(enough for two)
from the last warm pour
(enough for two) You made enough for two
(enough for two)
one cup beside me
one held in your hands A white line crossed my tea
before anyone saw
then a murmur ran through the tables
and above us it began You made enough for two
(enough for two)
and I sat down with you [Verse 2]
The cup was too hot
my fingers still cold
you held yours the same way
I held on to mine You drank yours too soon
made a face at the heat
I took mine too soon
and we laughed for a beat There was nothing in your face
asking to be seen
you just sat beside me
in the travelling light Then I heard once again
the question from before
that one simple word
already on my tongue [Pre-Chorus]
I turned toward you
but your face had turned high
a white streak moved through
the light in your eyes You looked at the sky
as if seeing it anew
and for one held breath
I forgot what to say [Chorus]
You made enough for two
(enough for two)
from the last warm pour
(enough for two) You made enough for two
(enough for two)
one cup beside me
one held in your hands The sky in my tea
was trembling light
I looked at your hands
and you never looked my way You made enough for two
(enough for two)
and I sat down with you [Bridge]
The wind took my shawl
from the edge of my knee
its loosened end
landed lightly on you I reached out to take it
then left it where it lay
you held down the corner
when the wind pulled again Two cups, one shawl
on the narrow bench
your mended sleeve
close to my hand I turned toward you
with the word still waiting
but you held down the corner
and looked up again It stayed on my lips
for a moment more
then light fell again
and we watched as it went [Final Chorus] You made enough for two (enough for two) from the last warm pour (enough for two) You made enough for two (enough for two) two cups on the bench one shawl across our knees There was no light in the tea now the wind stayed cold and clear you held down the corner and looked up again You made enough for two (enough for two) two cups on the bench one shawl across our knees
 [Outro]
The doors slid open
the first guests went in
the flask feather-light
in the last reflected glow Two cups on the bench
the shawl in our hands
you slowly stood up
I stayed one moment more I said nothing.
Nothing was missing.
