A Little Less Distance

You leave your keys beside the bowl. Then turn around and lose control. A little laugh, a half smile. You make the hallway worth the while. Come closer, take your time. Your hand fits easy into mine. No need to say where we should go. We already know. Stay for the morning. Stay till the coffee cools. Stay when the room Is quiet. Stay because I choose you. Stay for the small things. Ooh, Your shoes beside the door. Stay till the day is calling. I'll still want more. Your blue coat hangs behind the chair. A silver ring is resting there. You tell me stories from your train. I ask you to repeat your name. Come closer, take your time. Your hand fits easy into mine. No need to say where we should go. We already know. Stay for the morning. Ooh, ooh. Stay till the coffee cools. Stay when the room Is quiet. Stay because I choose you. Stay for the small things. Ooh, ooh, your shoes beside the door. Stay till the day is calling. I'll still want more. If the week comes rushing in, Let it wait outside again. For one more hour, one more cup. Let the ordinary hold us up. Stay for the morning. Stay till the coffee cools. Stay when the room is quiet. Stay because I choose you. Stay for the small things. Ooh, Your shoes beside the door. Stay till the day is calling. I'll still want more. Stay a little longer. Ooh. Ooh, Stay a little longer. Ooh.
