lyrics

(log drum rolls in soft)
(mmm... stay, stay)

Your jacket's on my kitchen chair
Three days now, I left it there
I pour two fingers, one for show
You like your whiskey warm and slow
(warm and slow)

The ice is talking in the glass
(click, click)
It says the night don't have to pass
(don't have to pass)

Stay till the ice melts down
Stay till the ice melts down
Don't find your keys, don't make a sound
Stay till the ice melts down
Stay till the ice melts down
(down... down...)

The candle drowns in its own wax
Your shoulders finally relax
You lay your watch beside my cup
Like something quietly giving up
(mmm)

If morning knocks, then let it knock
(let it knock)
I hung a towel across the clock
(quiet, quiet)

Stay till the ice melts down
(ooh, stay)
Stay till the ice melts down
Don't find your keys, don't make a sound
Stay till the ice melts down
Stay till the ice melts down
(down... down...)

(the kettle hums)
(stay... stay...)
