[Verse 1] Your coat is hanging by the kitchen door The kettle sighs, then settles on the stove You say the morning’s waiting down the road But morning can be patient, don’t you know [Pre-Chorus] The porch boards know the weight of your shoes The old clock keeps losing time If you’ve got one more story to tell Let this quiet borrow mine [Chorus] Don’t go home yet, stay until the candle bends Stay until the dark turns blue There’s a blanket on the sofa, there’s a place beside me And one more sleepy song for you Don’t go home yet, let the road wait past the dawn Let the first bird call alone You can leave when the kettle sings But don’t go home yet, don’t go home [Verse 2] Your hands are cold from carrying the night I’ll warm them in the sleeves of my old sweater The windows hold a little rain and light And every drop says we can stay together [Pre-Chorus] The floorboards know the shape of your feet The house is breathing slow If you’ve got one more minute to spare Give it somewhere soft to go [Chorus] Don’t go home yet, stay until the candle bends Stay until the dark turns blue There’s a blanket on the sofa, there’s a place beside me And one more sleepy song for you Don’t go home yet, let the road wait past the dawn Let the first bird call alone You can leave when the kettle sings But don’t go home yet, don’t go home [Bridge] No promise needs a polished name No answer needs to come tonight Just rest your head and let the rain Keep watch beyond the window light [Final Chorus] Don’t go home yet, stay until the candle bends Stay until the dark turns blue There’s a blanket on the sofa, there’s a place beside me And one more sleepy song for you Don’t go home yet, let the road wait past the dawn Let the first bird call alone You can leave when the kettle sings But don’t go home yet, don’t go home [Outro] The kettle cools, the room grows still Your hand is warm in mine Don’t go home yet Not tonight
