Stay, Please Stay

Darlin' don't mark my words i can't know
How long, how fast, how deep, how clear this river flows
As i leave those crimson lips, those delta eyes, i hear

Stay, please stay,you come and go just like that, couldn't we backtrack?
Stay, please stay, i can't stomach this
How could you give our lovin' up for a fool's dream in an empty cup?

Midnight moon shines its light for all to see
It comes and goes like tired fools with simplicity
Washed to shore upon this beach are tears for me

Stay, please stay, you come and go just like that, couldn't we backtrack?
Stay, please stay, i can't stomach this
How do you smile and say good bye with a bag on your back and not a tear in your eye?

Stay, please stay, you come and go just like that, couldn't we backtrack?
Stay, please stay, i can't stomach this
What can i do with a love that gathers dust in a busy room?
