[Verse 1] You left your coat beside the cedar chair Mist gathered softly over the lake I found a flat stone and held it there Thinking of every promise we could make [Pre-Chorus] The hills kept their distance The water held the sky You looked at me so gently I forgot to ask why [Chorus] Stay where the morning turns amber Stay while the far peaks lose blue I have a quiet heart to hand you And a whole valley leading me to you [Verse 2] Pine needles covered the path we took A thrush sang once from the alder shade You traced the ridgeline in an old field book Then closed it before the light could fade [Pre-Chorus] No need for grand answers No need to name the view The lake was clear enough to show me What I already knew [Chorus] Stay where the morning turns amber Stay while the far peaks lose blue I have a quiet heart to hand you And a whole valley leading me to you [Bridge] If the weather changes, we will wait If the road is longer, we will walk Let the trees keep watch beside the gate Let the silence teach us how to talk [Final Chorus] Stay where the morning turns amber Stay while the far peaks lose blue I have a quiet heart to hand you And a whole valley leading me to you [Outro] Your coat is warm against my shoulder The lake goes still, the day comes through
