Original lyric sketch · Fictional voice · Lyrics only · The table as a notebook
Verse
Fold the corner gently.
Keep a place for what can change.
Tonight, the small tasting note
need not carry every name.
Refrain
There is a little room beside the plate for one more word.
Let the room keep breathing.
Let the words arrive.
Leave a little space for what is still alive.
