[Verse 1] Three mornings in a borrowed room, Your coffee cooling by the sink. I knew the shape your laughter took Before I knew what I should think. My map stayed folded in my coat; The days kept slipping past the door. I came here passing through, but then I wanted nothing more. [Pre-Chorus] The last day finds us side by side, Your quiet breathing, early light. I count the minutes, lose the count— The airport waits beyond goodbye. [Chorus] Give me one more morning, One more hour before I go. I have barely learned your ordinary, And already I must let it go. I’m carrying these few days with me, But I wish they weren’t all I’d know. Give me one more morning Before I’m out of your life. [Verse 2] Your hand rests warm against my sleeve; My bag is waiting by the stairs. I want to ask you for a future, But I can’t ask you to be there. [Breakdown] At the gate, I’ll turn around For a face I can’t keep near. [Final Chorus] Give me one more morning, One more hour before I go. I have barely learned your ordinary— I wish I had more time to know.
