Stop - Joe Henry

Don’t tell me to stop

Tell the rain not to drop

Tell the wind not to blow

Cause you said so;

Tell me love isn’t true

It’s just something we do

Tell me everything I’m not

But don’t tell me to stop

Tell the sun not to shine

Not to get up this time

Let it fall by the way

Leave me where I lay;

Tell the leaves not to turn

But don’t tell me I’ll learn

Take the black off a crow

But don’t tell me to go

Tell the bed not to lay

Like the mouth of a grave

Not to stare up at me

Like a calf on its knees;

Tell me love isn’t true

It’s just something we do

Tell me everything I’m not

But don’t tell me to stop
