Empty Flask
Style: Cinematic strings

[Verse 1]
You fold the napkins the wind undid
and hand me the flask with nothing left
I watch you laugh at what we did
and love you plainer than I've ever said

[Pre-chorus]
Nothing grand about this field
no reason the day should hold
but I'm not ready to yield

[Chorus]
Dorothy, stay a while longer here
the grass will keep, the light's not gone
you make the ordinary clear
I'd choose this quiet over anyone

[Verse 2]
You chase a napkin across the lawn
and lose, and laugh, and let it go
I think of all the years since drawn
and how you're still the one I know

[Pre-chorus]
Nothing grand about this field
no reason the day should hold
but I'm not ready to yield

[Chorus]
Dorothy, stay a while longer here
the grass will keep, the light's not gone
you make the ordinary clear
I'd choose this quiet over anyone

[Bridge]
Empty flask, worn out grass
two names nobody else would guess
this is how the good years pass
in small things I would never let go

[Chorus]
Dorothy, stay a while longer here
the grass will keep, the light's not gone
you make the ordinary clear
I'd choose this quiet over anyone

[Outro]
The last napkin gives up and flies
I'm still here, watching you, watching the sky
