Stay
Well here's to you
Right where you are
A lifetime away from me
The foreign side
Of this broken bed
Stirring with the sunlight
And the dreams that are in your head
You say the words
And I'll stop rolling
The loaded dice I've played with all my life
And I don't find it easy to say
But I can't chase these feelings away
So here in the cold light of day
Why don't you stay?
On Castle Street
I've been forsaken
By the whiskey and the rum that I have taken
I've felt the earth
Move by herself
I've drank away my memory to everybody's health
Now I'm praying
For salvation
Amongst the dying flowers of my life
And I don't find it easy to say
But I can't chase these feelings away
So here in the cold light of day
Why don't you stay?
Why don't you stay until tomorrow?
I'll give you all these promises to hold
Because the road is dark and narrow
When you can't find a way to take control
So there it is
My last request
Your hair a tousled storm across the risings of your chest
And if you rise
To tell me 'no'
You know I won't resent you
If away you choose to go
For at least
These words were honest
That's a quality I've never worn too well
And I don't find it easy to say
But I can't chase these feelings away
So here in the cold light of day
Why don't you stay?
So here in the cold light of day
Why don't you stay?
Here in the cold light of day
Why don't you stay?
Right where you are
A lifetime away from me
The foreign side
Of this broken bed
Stirring with the sunlight
And the dreams that are in your head
You say the words
And I'll stop rolling
The loaded dice I've played with all my life
And I don't find it easy to say
But I can't chase these feelings away
So here in the cold light of day
Why don't you stay?
On Castle Street
I've been forsaken
By the whiskey and the rum that I have taken
I've felt the earth
Move by herself
I've drank away my memory to everybody's health
Now I'm praying
For salvation
Amongst the dying flowers of my life
And I don't find it easy to say
But I can't chase these feelings away
So here in the cold light of day
Why don't you stay?
Why don't you stay until tomorrow?
I'll give you all these promises to hold
Because the road is dark and narrow
When you can't find a way to take control
So there it is
My last request
Your hair a tousled storm across the risings of your chest
And if you rise
To tell me 'no'
You know I won't resent you
If away you choose to go
For at least
These words were honest
That's a quality I've never worn too well
And I don't find it easy to say
But I can't chase these feelings away
So here in the cold light of day
Why don't you stay?
So here in the cold light of day
Why don't you stay?
Here in the cold light of day
Why don't you stay?
