Murmur In Blue

The candle burns low

on the table

Smoke curling up

toward the ceiling

I stay in the quiet of the evening

Holding onto this half-empty feeling (mmm)

And all the words I saved

Are fading

with the rain (ohhhh)

Stay a little longer in the dark

Let the music hold what words can't start

I hear your name in every note

Slipping through me like a gentle boat

(ooh, ooh)

Your coat still hangs by the doorway

The clock moves slow

through the hallway

I trace the lines of an old song

Wondering how I stayed this long (mmm)

And all the light we

chased

Is scattered now in space (ohhh)

Stay a little longer in the dark

Let the music hold what words can't start

I hear your name in every note

Slipping through me like a gentle boat

(ooh, ooh)

Maybe I've been holding on to rain

Maybe some things only hurt because they're beautiful (ahhh)

Stay a little longer in the dark

Let the music hold what words can't start

I hear your name in every note

Slipping through me like a gentle boat

(ooh, stay)

(ooh, ooh) (mmmmm)
