From the recording Private Conversations

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You pull your chair a little close
Say my name like nobody knows
Your silver ring taps on the glass
We let the hurried minutes pass
[Pre-Chorus]
Take your time, stay right here
Every word comes soft and clear
No need to tell me where you’ve been
Just lean a little closer in
[Instrumental Hook]
[Verse 2]
Your coat is folded by the door
You laugh, then ask me for one more
The clock can keep its careful pace
I’d rather learn the lines of your face
[Pre-Chorus]
Take your time, stay right here
Every word comes soft and clear
No need to tell me where you’ve been
Just lean a little closer in
[Chorus]
Stay awhile, let the minutes roll
Easy now, let the room move slow
If you leave, leave your laugh with me
If you stay, let it be easy
[Chorus]
Stay awhile, let the minutes roll
Easy now, let the room move slow
If you leave, leave your laugh with me
If you stay, let it be easy
[Bridge]
When morning finds the window pane
I’ll walk you out through quiet rain
No grand promise, nothing to prove
Just one more hour in this easy groove
[Final Chorus]
Stay awhile, let the minutes roll
Easy now, let the room move slow
If you leave, leave your laugh with me
If you stay, let it be easy
[Outro]
Stay awhile
Let it be easy
[Outro]
Stay awhile
Let it be easy
