Lyrics
You've been standing by the window since the tea went cold Holding all the answers that you're scared to hold The letter's by the lamp and the ink is dry Nobody's in a hurry, not even the sky Leave the pen on the table, take your time The morning will wait and so will I Whatever you choose, I'll be walking by your side Leave the pen on the table, take your time I taught a hundred children how to stand up and say That the hardest kind of choosing is the kind that takes a day You don't have to know it all by heart Just take the first step and that's a start Leave the pen on the table, take your time The morning will wait and so will I Whatever you choose, I'll be walking by your side Leave the pen on the table, take your time The clock on the wall is only keeping score It doesn't know your courage or what you're braver for So breathe in the quiet, breathe out the fear The rest of the road will become clear The blackbird in the garden hasn't made up his mind Whether it's the end of autumn or a new day to find And if you choose the left or if you choose the right I'll leave the porch lamp burning through the night Leave the pen on the table, take your time The morning will wait and so will I Whatever you choose, I'll be walking by your side Leave the pen on the table, take your time Take your time Take your time I'm right here
