Till the Weather Breaks

[Verse 1] Salt on the window, rain in the stairwell You keep your coat on, I know you too well Harbor cranes turning, one red lamp blinking You say you’re leaving, but stay there thinking [Pre-Chorus] No promise, no prayer Just cold in the air You look at the water Like I’m not standing there [Chorus] Stay, stay, stay — don’t turn away Stay, stay, stay — till the weather breaks Hey! Hey! We carry the weight Hey! Hey! Stay, stay, stay [Verse 2] Fish scales glitter beneath the market Your hands are shaking, you try to hide it A bus pulls empty along the seawall You name the places you never went to at all [Pre-Chorus] No answer, no flame You won’t say my name The tide takes the footprints And brings them back again [Chorus] Stay, stay, stay — don’t turn away Stay, stay, stay — till the weather breaks Hey! Hey! We carry the weight Hey! Hey! Stay, stay, stay [Bridge] I have no softer language I have no warmer room But if you cross that water I’ll follow into blue [Chant] Hey! Hey! Hold the line! Hey! Hey! Hold the line! Stay! Stay! One more night! Stay! Stay! One more night! [Final Chorus] Stay, stay, stay — don’t turn away Stay, stay, stay — till the weather breaks Hey! Hey! We carry the weight Hey! Hey! Stay, stay, stay [Outro] Salt on the window Rain in the stairwell Stay, stay, stay
