Held By The Window Light

Verse

Steam curls off the cup I set down

Blue hour paling on the sill

A sparrow tests one thin gray branch

The kettle's hush, the house is still

Pre-Chorus

Could I stay

just like this

just one more

breath of mist

Chorus

Held by the window light

Nothing to chase, nothing to fight

Dust in the slow gold air

I'm not going anywhere

Verse

The clock hands lean but do not fall

Frost writes its name across the glass

My coffee cools, the morning waits

No hurry in this hour to pass

Pre-Chorus

Could I stay

just like this

just one more

breath of mist

Chorus

Held by the window light

Nothing to chase, nothing to fight

Dust in the slow gold air

I'm not going anywhere

Bridge

Somewhere a train is leaving town

Somewhere a bell begins to sound

But here the sugar melts so slow

And here I let the whole world go

Chorus

Held by the window light

Nothing to chase, nothing to fight

Dust in the slow gold air

I'm not going anywhere
