There's a Place for You Here

[Verse 1] The hall is quiet past the last goodnight I fold the chairs beneath the amber light Scuffed floors hold every shoe that came and went A paper cup still leaning by the vent Your old blue coat hangs easy on its peg I hum a tune while stacking what is left [Pre-Chorus] No one asked me for a song But the room keeps singing on [Chorus] There’s a place for you here When the long day disappears Pull a chair beside the ones who stayed You don’t have to find the words to say There’s a place for you here Every heart can settle near When the room is still and night draws near There’s a place for you here [Verse 2] I stack the cups in rows of chipped white clay And brush the crumbs the evening left today A child’s small drawing rests beside the door Two crooked suns and names I’ve seen before I know the sound of every hinge and key This little room has made a home of me [Pre-Chorus] No one asked me for a song Still the room keeps singing on [Chorus] There’s a place for you here When the long day disappears Pull a chair beside the ones who stayed You don’t have to find the words to say There’s a place for you here Every heart can settle near When the room is still and night draws near There’s a place for you here [Bridge] If you came in late, if you came alone If you’re tired of carrying your own Set it down, take the chair by the wall There is room enough for all [Final Chorus] There’s a place for you here When the long day disappears Pull a chair beside the ones who stayed You don’t have to find the words to say There’s a place for you here Every heart can settle near Let the whole room answer, clear and sincere: There’s a place for you here There’s a place for you here [Outro] I fold the chairs, the morning can wait There’s a place for you here
