Lyrics
Full lyric sheet, with a simpler surface.
After midnight tea After midnight tea Hold this quiet close And stay here with me Steam is rising from the teacups Low light leaning on the wall Your sleeve brushes past the table Like you barely moved at all The city fades behind the curtains Like it knows to leave us be And the room turns soft and patient In the hush between you and me No more noise No more speed Just this hour And what we need After midnight tea Slow and deep Let this quiet Settle in me After midnight tea Stay and see How this small night Opens quietly Your tired smile across the lamplight Makes the whole room feel more gold Every little pause between us Feels too warm to let go cold No big plans and no performance Just your hand beside the cup And a silence full of meaning As the blue outside gives up No more rush No more show Just this warmth And letting go After midnight tea Slow and deep Let this quiet Settle in me After midnight tea Stay and see How this small night Opens quietly After midnight tea Slow and deep Let this quiet Settle in me After midnight tea Stay and see How this small night Opens quietly After midnight tea Near and low Keep this warmth Before we go
