Stay

I'm taking off this party hat
The white situation is over
A new situation begins
Red guitar is broken
To beat the drum of youth again
Take too long to say
Stay, stay, stay and I will understand you
Stay, I will understand you
I write a new book everyday
The love theme for the wilderness
I fit the words together
Candy girls want candy boxes
She loves the musicbox forever
She's crying on my shoulder
Stay, stay, stay and I will understand you
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I will understand you
Summer girls in disarray
Can be so free and easy now
Well, we'll be free and easy
Stay, stay, stay and I will understand you
Stay, I will understand you
I write a new book everyday
A love theme for the wilderness
A love theme
Stay
