Half a milk tea, an old menu and a window table leave an evening without hurry.

Company remains when words feel too tiring.

Hushed Cantonese-ballad direction · tea and quiet company

Menus have changed, but the preference for no sugar is remembered. Wanting someone to stay longer is disguised as saying it does not matter. Only later does the quiet invitation emerge: could the same table welcome them tomorrow? Care rests in tea and silence.

The late-night Cantonese baritone-ballad brief imagines piano, cello, nylon guitar and brushes around intimate space. With the lights out, the song does not demand an answer. Exhaustion need not be explained before company is offered.

Read the lyrics

[Intro]
茶餐廳熄燈以後，
我仲喺門口等候。

[Verse 1]
你留低半杯奶茶，
話凍咗都唔好飲。
我笑住話冇所謂，
其實想你坐耐一陣。

[Pre-Chorus]
街角巴士開走，
今夜邊個陪我回頭。

[Chorus]
茶餐廳熄燈以後，
我仲喺門口等候。
若你攰到唔想講嘢，
我就靜靜陪你走。
世界催得我哋太久，
真心唔使搶住開口。
只要聽見你輕輕一句，
聽晚同一張檯再坐低好冇。

[Instrumental Interlude: piano, cello, nylon guitar, soft brushed drums]

[Verse 2]
舊餐牌換過幾次，
你仍然唔落砂糖。
窗邊嗰個老位，
一直替我哋留低月光。

[Pre-Chorus]
人海行得再久，
總有一盞燈等候。

[Final Chorus]
茶餐廳熄燈以後，
我仲喺門口等候。
若你攰到唔想講嘢，
我就靜靜陪你走。
世界催得我哋太久，
真心唔使搶住開口。
只要聽見你輕輕一句，
聽晚同一張檯再坐低好冇。

[Outro]
燈熄咗，茶未凍，
我陪你慢慢走。
