Track Insight / Lyrics
I climbed six floors to bring her dinner
She's been waiting like a quiet sinner
Cracked varnish on her wooden shoulder
She's been resting there since October
Stay with me, the rooftops glow
Every string a shade of slow
Hold the note and let it bend
We'll be here when morning ends
I wipe the grease off both my hands
She understands what no one can
Chimney smoke and slate tiles gleaming
Paris sleeping, softly dreaming
Stay with me, the rooftops glow
Every string a shade of slow
Hold the note and let it bend
We'll be here when morning ends
I've flipped eggs for thirty years
Heard a million midnight tears
But her silence cuts the deepest
Something beautiful and restless
Stay with me, the rooftops glow
Every string a shade of slow
Hold the note and let it bend
We'll be here when morning ends
Some things wait without a reason
Through the cold and through the season
I know waiting, I know still
I know that window on the hill
So I'll bring her coffee black
Set it gently, turn my back
Let her sing to empty air
Someone's listening somewhere
Stay with me, the rooftops glow
Every string a shade of slow
Hold the note and let it bend
We'll be here when morning ends
We'll be here when morning ends
Griddle's on, the sun is low
One more plate before I go
