On the clay bowl,
I keep your name
Blue fig slices and salt on my tongue
You came like rain
through the palm grove shade
My hands were empty,
now they hold the sky
Stay with me, stay with me Under the cold gray moon
Stay with me, stay with me My home is in your tune
I crossed the tide
with a quiet step Carried my sorrow in a copper cup
You lit the room with your steady eyes
Like lantern fire on the edge of night (ahhhh)
Stay with me,
stay with me
Under the cold
gray moon
Stay with me,
stay with me
Soft as the winter rain (hmmmmm)
