[Verse 1] Your old blue sweater hangs behind the door A paper ticket sleeps inside its fold The kitchen clock keeps missing half past four I turn the radio down, then let it hold [Chorus] Stay awhile, let the afternoon unwind We can leave the little years behind Your name is written on the window pane I read it once, then read it once again [Verse 2] The corner shop has changed its faded sign Our bikes are gone from underneath the stairs You draw a crooked sun beside the line Where we promised we would meet next year [Chorus] Stay awhile, let the afternoon unwind We can leave the little years behind Your name is written on the window pane I read it once, then read it once again [Bridge] If all we keep is what we almost said Then keep this quiet minute here instead [Outro] Your old blue sweater, folded neat and slow A small goodbye I’m not ready to know
