Amber Glow

Your glass leaves a ring on the wood, By the olives and the ashtray chrome. You laugh like you know I should stay a Little past the last bus home. The room leans back in its chair, Brown bottles glow by the wall. And your hand finds mine somewhere, Like it never left at all. Slow down, let the night arrive. Keep that look in your eyes. I was fine till you walked in. Now I'm not so sure I'll win. Stay in the ember glow. Stay where the soft hours go. Stay in the ember glow. You make this whole room show. Stay in the ember glow. Oh, baby, don't let me go. Your name folds soft in my mouth, Like smoke in a paper cup. The band in the corner counts out loud, While the bartender tops us up. You trace the edge of the beer mat map, And you grin at my quiet flaws. I came here to drift off track, Now I'm caught in your pause. Slow down, let the night arrive. Keep that look in your eyes. I was fine till you walked in. Now I'm not so sure I'll win. Stay in the ember glow. Stay where the soft hours go. Stay in the ember glow. You make this whole room show. Oh. Stay in the ember glow. Mm, baby, don't let me go. If morning knocks, let it wait. Leave one more song on the plate. I don't need forever tonight, just your shoulder in This light. Stay in the ember glow. Stay where the soft hours go. Stay in the ember glow. Oh, you make this whole room show. Oh. Stay in the ember glow. Baby, don't let me go. Stay in the ember glow.
