Lyrics
Stay
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Run, it's always your instinct
Run, it feels like the right thing to turn your back and run
Where, where are you going as fast as you can run
Slow down, come on, take a breath
Why don't you rest
What's your hurry
C'mon
Stay
Just stay
You're where you're meant to be
You're no runaway
Why don't you stay
So long, yesterday's gone
So long to all of your worries that won't add a day to life
Slow down, come on, take a breath
Why don't you rest
What's your hurry
Lay your weary head down in the fields of green
Soak your soul now in the quiet streams
Where, where are you going as fast as you can
