Stay

Treacherous voice is back again
Whispering emptiness over my shoulder
Telling me I should give in

Like an old unwanted friend
From the past that never seems to die
And is with me all the time

I know better days are ahead
Even if the light
At the end of the tunnel
Seems so far away

So let’s smile madly in the face
Of memory
And the promise of an early grave

Stay here now
Don’t slip away-ay-ay-ay

This is all just to say
I won’t lеave here today
Thеre is much to be done
So many songs left unsung

I don’t know if I’ll escape
From this creeping feeling
That I have lost
From the very start

But we’re not born to die this way
All alone in a room
With your favorite record
Pleading for you to hold on

It feels better off this way
But it’s such a lie
That permeates
When you can’t see it through

So let’s smile madly in the face
Of memory
And the promise of an early grave

Stay here now
Don’t slip away-ay-ay-ay

This is all just to say
I won’t leave here today
There is much to be done
So many songs left unsung

This is all just to say
I won’t leave here today
There is much to be done
So many songs left unsung
