Stay

SO THERE’S THIS FEAR
THAT SUFFOCATES YOUR DREAMS
WHEN YOU PULL ME NEAR
SOMETHING DEEP INSIDE YOU SCREAMS
AND THERE’S THIS VOICE
WITHIN YOUR HEAD
KEEPS TELLING YOU
THINGS ALREADY SAID

FEELS LIKE IT’S STARTING – AGAIN

THEN UNDER THIS MOON
SUDDENLY YOU KNOW
THE FEELINGS HERE WILL
STRETCH UNTIL THEY SHOW

BUT THE TIDE - IT IS TURNING

DON’T LET THE WAVES WASH YOU AWAY
CHOOSE TO STAY – DON’T YOU WASH AWAY
I WILL STILL STAND HERE IN YOUR WAY
‘CAUSE LEAVING IS THE EASY WAY OUT

ONE TINY GRAIN
PLACED IN THE RIGHT HANDS
CAN FORM A PEARL
NOW GIRL I THINK YOU UNDERSTAND

HOLD ON IT’S COMING

DON’T LET THE WAVES WASH YOU AWAY
CHOOSE TO STAY – DON’T YOU WASH AWAY
I WILL STILL STAND HERE IN YOUR WAY
‘CAUSE LEAVING IS THE EASY WAY OUT

I KNOW HOW HARD IT CAN BE
YOU SAY YOU MIGHT LOSE YOURSELF IN ME
LOSE YOUR FREEDOM TO COME AND GO AS YOU PLEASE
BUT I DON’T WANT TO DO THAT - I JUST WANT YOU CLOSE TO ME
