(ooh) Night leans slow through the open room
Tea goes cold by the window side Dust in gold where the
sun used to hide I trace old roads in a half-slept mind
Loose ends sway and the stars unwind You move through me like
a borrowed tune Soft and strange in the afternoon
Stay a little, let the evening bend Round and round where the
heart can mend Slow river under the painted sky
Hold me close while the days drift by Stay a little,
don't let go too soon
We can bloom in the silver moon
Streetlight rain on the balcony rail Small blue smoke from a far-off
trail Every silence has a shape tonight
Every memory bends the light If I lose the words,
just hum my name In your calm I am not the same
Ahh,
the room keeps turning kind Ahh,
leave the heavy day behind I can hear the floorboards sing Love
is such a quiet thing Stay a little,
let the evening bend Round and round where the heart can mend
Slow river under the painted sky Hold me close while the days
drift by Stay a little,
don't let go too soon We can bloom in the silver moon
(ooh) Morning waits beyond the room
