[Intro - distant breathy hums, sparse piano] (Mmm...) (Ooh...) [Verse - low breathy vocals, languid delivery] Blue in the early morning Rain along the glass I let the room stay quiet I let the hours pass No one has to know me No one has to stay I can hear the old songs Turning far away [Pre-Chorus - vocal lift, slow legato] Slowly... Hold me... in the sound... Only... Don't wake me now... [Chorus - passionate, swelling strings, full vocal projection] Oh, I know How the night can change me Oh, I know How the light can fade Stay a little longer Let the whole world wait If I have to lose this Let it fall away (Ooh...) [Verse - quiet, whispered contralto] Gold on the empty table Dust along the frame Everything looks different Nothing has to change I used to chase the feeling Past the point of sleep Now I let the silence Keep what it can keep [Pre-Chorus - vocal lift, slow legato] Slowly... Hold me... in the sound... Only... Don't wake me now... [Chorus - passionate, swelling strings, full vocal projection] Oh, I know How the night can change me Oh, I know How the light can fade Stay a little longer Let the whole world wait If I have to lose this Let it fall away [Bridge - dramatic orchestral climax, emotional belting] Maybe I was always Waiting for a sign Maybe all I wanted Was a little time Hold me... Slowly... Don't let the moment Turn away— [Chorus - intense peak, grand orchestral arrangement] Oh, I know How the night can change me Oh, I know How the light can fade Stay a little longer Let the whole world wait If I have to lose this Let it fall away Oh-oh... Stay... Stay... Let it fall away [Outro - fading vocal fry, dark plate reverb, piano] Blue in the early morning I can let it go (Mmm...) [End]
