Stay, Please Stay - Oh Mercy

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?
