Lyrics
Linger, Let Me Linger
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.
Like the thorn bush twines against the chain link fence
Like the spider spins its rings between the trees
And the lonely sycamore bends to the breeze
I am the puddles in the street waiting for your falling leaves
Twine your vines around me, drop your branches in my path
Linger, let me linger
Hearts drawn on a dusty window pane, a love note lying in the road
A car circling round a darkened street, a woman crying on the phone
We are like the crickets in the spring, calling out from under stones
Twine your vines around me, drop your branches in my path
Linger, let me linger
