Stay Until Morning

The room is quiet now The glasses on the table Your coat is by the door But neither one of us leaves We talked about the easy things The places we have been Then somewhere in the silence We stopped pretending There's nothing left to say Not tonight, not now Whatever comes tomorrow Can wait outside this room Stay until morning Leave the night unfinished Let the city wake without us Let the first light find us here Stay until morning We can leave the rest for daylight We don't have to name this moment Just stay a little longer The window has gone silver The traffic starts below You trace a line around your glass And watch the headlights go There's something in the way you look Like you're already leaving So I won't ask you to stay forever I only have this evening Nothing needs explaining Not while you're still here Let the morning take its time Before it brings us back Stay until morning Leave the night unfinished Let the city wake without us Let the first light find us here Stay until morning We can leave the rest for daylight We don't have to name this moment Just stay a little longer Maybe tomorrow you'll put on your coat And this room will be just a room again Maybe we'll remember this in pieces Or let it disappear with the night But right now Your hand is still in mine And for once I don't want to know the time Stay until morning Let the night remain between us Let the world come back without us When the darkness starts to fade Stay until morning No need to make it something If this is all we're given Let me have these hours with you Stay Until morning Don't say a word Just stay
