The shadows stretch across the wooden floor
I hear the city humming right outside the door
The world is moving fast, a river made of light
But everything is still within our walls tonight
I used to fear the silence, used to run from ghosts
But now I find my anchor where I need it most
And if the stars decide to fade away
And if the blue turns into heavy grey
I don’t need a compass, I don’t need a map
As long as there’s no distance, as long as there’s no gap
So stay close to me
Let the hours turn to dust, let the wind blow free
In the hollow of the dark, you’re the only thing I see
Darling, stay close to me
Just stay close to me
I trace the silver lines upon your palm
A quiet kind of storm, a loud and steady calm
The ghosts of yesterday are buried in the yard
I’m dropping every weapon, I’m lowering my guard
There’s a comfort in the way your breathing slows
A secret only you and I could ever know
And if the stars decide to fade away
And if the blue turns into heavy grey
I don’t need a compass, I don’t need a map
As long as there’s no distance, as long as there’s no gap
So stay close to me
Let the hours turn to dust, let the wind blow free
In the hollow of the dark, you’re the only thing I see
Darling, stay close to me
Just stay close to me
Don’t let the morning break the spell
Don’t let the sunlight tell us all is well
Right here in the half-light, we are infinite
Stay until the very last candle’s lit
So stay close to me
Let the hours turn to dust, let the wind blow free
In the hollow of the dark, you’re the only thing I see
Darling, stay close to me
Just stay close to me
Stay close...
Like the marrow in the bone
Stay close...
So I’m never on my own
(Stay close to me)
(Stay close to me)
