Lyrics
Stray With Me
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.
when I wake in the morning
with sleep in my eyes
stray with me
when I come home in the morning
and I'm too drunk for lies
stray with me
when morning comes and I'm on tour
and no one knows where I am for sure
and you know I get lonely
stray with me
when I'm boring and ugly
and I love you too much
stray with me
when I can't stand your distance
and I can't stand your touch
stray with me
through wedding cakes
and kids and wakes
through what and whom
and how long it takes
if only in my memory
stray with me...
