[Verse 1] Your cup is cooling by the windowpane The little clock keeps tapping out the rain I turn the saucer slowly in my hand And wonder when we lost our easy plans [Pre-Chorus] You smile, then look away I find no clever thing to say [Chorus] Come sit a little closer, let the evening take its time I’ll meet you on the quiet beat, you answer on the rhyme No need to make a promise, no need to say it’s true Just leave a little room tonight for me to get to you [Verse 2] The old blue chair still leans toward where you sit The radio remembers every bit Your laugh slips through the silence, soft and low Like something we both thought we’d never know [Pre-Chorus] So set the day aside There’s still a place here by my side [Chorus] Come sit a little closer, let the evening take its time I’ll meet you on the quiet beat, you answer on the rhyme No need to make a promise, no need to say it’s true Just leave a little room tonight for me to get to you [Bridge] If we miss a step, we’ll start again Two old friends beneath the window rain Your hand finds mine, the years grow small And suddenly there’s no lost tune at all [Final Chorus] Come sit a little closer, let the evening take its time I’ll meet you on the quiet beat, you answer on the rhyme No need to make a promise, no need to say it’s true Just leave a little room tonight for me to get to you [Outro] Your cup is cooling, night is passing through The chair is warm, and so am I with you
