Stop Where You Are

Tender is the light that shines on you Gentle is the morning made anew Delicate, the grace we've come into My love Wonder why you wish your life away Waiting for the perfect boat to take Waiting for the perfect wind to sail away Life's shining around you Don't miss a day If you're caught up in the chase You hold your happiness away from you Stop where you are Under fading stars This is the world we've made There is no better place, it's true Light a fire where you are Underneath a blanket of the cold Lying in the dark, your seed will grow Miracles just like a winter rose will be Give up all the things you can't control Still yourself and watch them come and go Wherever you are, you'll find you're home at last Everything glitters around you Don't miss a day The moon on the lake The smell in the air when it rains The people you can share with The feeling you get when you're almost there Stop where you are Under fading stars This is the world we've made There is no better place, it's true Light a fire where you are You can't stop the wild wind roaring But you can stop my poor heart from calling out Light a fire where you are Stop where you are Under fading stars This is the world we've made There is no better place, it's true Light a fire where you are --- Stop Where You Are - Corinne Bailey Rae
