[Verse 1] You left the kitchen window cracked A little winter on the sill Two rooftops cut the velvet back The whole dark neighborhood stood still [Pre-Chorus] I held the cup you used that morning Between my hands, afraid to move The sky was clear above the chimney And every quiet pointed to you [Chorus] Stay where the bright world opens Stay where I can find your face Past the roofs and sleeping gardens Past the last familiar place If I look up long enough now Maybe distance lets me through One pale spark above the houses Keeps the night from losing you [Verse 2] The fence wore silver at the edges A moth went circling by the door Your old blue coat hung from the peg there Like you had only stepped outside before [Pre-Chorus] No car went down the empty roadway No porch light changed its quiet hue But something high above the chimneys Made the dark feel less untrue [Chorus] Stay where the bright world opens Stay where I can find your face Past the roofs and sleeping gardens Past the last familiar place If I look up long enough now Maybe distance lets me through One pale spark above the houses Keeps the night from losing you [Bridge] I won’t ask the morning for you I won’t make the silence lie I’ll keep one chair beside the window And let that silver cross the sky [Final Chorus] Stay where the bright world opens Stay where I can find your face Past the roofs and sleeping gardens Past the last familiar place When the first bird breaks the darkness I’ll still know what carried me One pale spark above the houses And the room you left in me [Outro] The window cools, the rooftops fade The bright point stays
