Lyrics
Hey... it's midnight. Come sit a minute. I poured two cups. Yours has the sugar. Three days of quiet, heavy as a winter coat Two cups on the table and the steam like a little note I practiced in the mirror, I practiced at the sink Pride kept talking louder than I could think Now the strings are rising, baby And I've got no more room to hide Say it plain, say it plain I was wrong, and I'm the one to blame Say it plain, say it plain Sit with me, darling, say my name Over a cold plate and a phone call I let ring Such a small thing, woman, such a small, small thing Your slippers by the back door, my jacket on the chair Three nights I slept beside you like you weren't there Now the horns are rising, baby And I'm done with all my pride Say it plain, say it plain I was wrong, and I'm the one to blame Say it plain, say it plain Sit with me, darling, say my name Hear that clock above the stove? Tick, tick, tick... it's been louder than both of us. Every second I stayed stubborn, it was counting. So here I am. No speech. No excuses. Just a man and a cup of coffee, saying... Say it plain! I was wrong, and I'm the one to blame Say it plain! Hold my hand and say my name I was wrong, baby I was wrong, I was wrong Come on home to me Drink your coffee, love, it's getting cold Say it plain
