lyrics
The café chairs are on their sides At one fifteen, the waiter locks the door Your cup sits cold by the sugar tins I count the spoons on the marble floor Salt on the window, wet from spray Your coat still hangs on the back of the chair I hear the gulls cut through the bay But your footsteps stay nailed to the stair The harbor bell strikes two The mop water glints on the tile You watch the bus pull clean away And you do not move for a while Stay a little longer Stay a little longer Stay a little longer Stay a little longer The baker drags in trays at dawn Three empty cups line up the sink Your ring leaves a mark on the glass Your fingers trace the chipped blue ink The tram goes by at six nineteen Men fold their tents on the beach You stand by the cracked white sink Like you’re waiting for a reach The harbor bell strikes two The mop water glints on the tile You watch the bus pull clean away And you do not move for a while Stay a little longer Stay a little longer Stay a little longer Stay a little longer The landlord turns the key in the hall The fish market folds its awnings down There’s only a spoon, a salt-stained plate And your shoes by the radio crown Stay a little longer Stay a little longer Stay a little longer Stay a little longer
