[Verse 1] The day leaves honey on the window frame Your blue cup waits beside the sink I trace the hills across your paper map And let the quiet say what I can't think [Pre-Chorus] You turn, and every small thing settles The room grows tender where you stand [Chorus] Stay while the gold falls over everything Stay till the last warm color slips away I could keep this little hour in my hands And carry you through every changing day [Verse 2] The garden leans against the open door A plum rolls softly from the bowl You laugh at nothing, then you look at me And something bright comes home inside my soul [Pre-Chorus] No grand promise, no perfect answer Just your hand fitting into mine [Chorus] Stay while the gold falls over everything Stay till the last warm color slips away I could keep this little hour in my hands And carry you through every changing day [Bridge] When winter draws its silver curtains When the fields turn brown and bare I'll remember how you looked tonight With the whole summer in your hair [Final Chorus] Stay while the gold falls over everything Stay till the last warm color slips away I will keep this little hour in my hands And carry you through every changing day [Outro] The day goes quiet, your blue cup stays And gold remains in ordinary things
