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.
You put a vision in me
A passion so strong that it beckons me still
Calling me desperately, Stay
Oh, what do I know?
You're rendering beauty from what I dispose
Characteristically so buoyantly, vitally barely alive
All that remains, from off in another direction
Is calling me still, Stay
Stay, where you are
Time will pass as they fall away
It's a shame to come so far,
Just to watch it all fade away
If you wanna stay, where you are
Time will pass as they fade away
It's a shame, to come so far
Just to watch it all slip away,
As you fade away
Oh, what do I know?
You're rendering beauty from what I destroyed
Characteristically so buoyantly, vitally, barely alive
All that remains, from off in another direction.
Is calling me still, Stay
