staying tonight

I heard your voice after midnight Coming through the rain I closed

my

eyes for just

a moment… And there you were again Did you miss me?

You already know.

Your photograph is where you left it

Your coffee cup is on the shelf

I told everybody I was healing

I never said it to myself

Some nights I leave the window open

Like somehow you might find your way

And when the curtains move behind me I almost turn around and

say your name

I took the long road through the city Just to pass your

street again

I saw your bedroom light still burning

And nearly called you there and then Why didn’t you?

Because if you answered… I would come home.

Do you still love me?

Don’t ask questions you know the answer to.

Then why are you so far away?

Maybe I was waiting for you to call.

Come home.

If you hear me after midnight

Don’t be afraid

That’s just my heart crossing the distance

Calling your name

Come through the darkness Leave on the light If love still lives

between us

Come home tonight

I still remember that December

I still remember your coat You fell asleep against my shoulder You

thought I didn’t know

I wanted time to stop right there Maybe somewhere it did Maybe

that’s why every road Keeps bringing us back here

Last night I dreamed you were beside me

Maybe I was.

Don’t say that…

Why?

Because I want to believe you.

Then turn around. You’re here…

I’m

here.

You came back.

I never stopped coming back to you.

If you hear me after midnight

You know my name We crossed the years,

we crossed the silence We crossed the rain

Stay through the morning

I’m staying tonight What about tomorrow?

I’ll still be by your side

If love survived the darkness

Maybe love was always light

Stay…

I’m here…

Stay… I’m here…

After midnight…
