PLEASE SAY YOU'LL STAY

 

There's a myriad of faces underneath this single skin

And I've seen a thousand places

that I know I've never been

Look deeply in my eyes, babe,

and you'll know that I'm for real

I've got wounds that stretch a thousand years

and I need your love to heal

 

'Cause when the song is sung and the notes die away

Nothing's left for me now

Can you hear what I say?

 

I live my life the normal way

But every night I dream

Outside I am a young man

Things are seldom what they seem

 

I dream of things forgotten

And I dream of things I've known

I dream of empty cities

And the years I spent alone

 

But when the song is sung and the notes die away

Nothing's left for me now

Will you please say you'll stay?

 

More than crowds are fading, babe,

That's why I'm standing now

We stand to lose more than we've got

Let's win it back somehow

 

(repeat 1st v. and chorus)

 

G.S., '83
