Stay with Me

Books and covers and part time lovers Spinning rooms in cities of rust I'm stranded, struck out on this line Of smoke and fire and steel and wire And glass and spire and dust On to the floor at dawn with lips taught and drawn Sleepless nights I've spent with angels heaven sent Stay with me, lay with me, lay down by my side Stay with me, lay with me, take me deep inside Lay with me, stay with me, lay with me Stay, with me Stay, with me Born of the sign of air and the twins Speak of days and another place I wander as the gypsy under a beckoning moon Speak of time and another face A wayward and languid cry a fleeting and furtive sigh From the cradle to the grave a love to desire and crave Stay with me, lay with me, lay down by my side Stay with me, lay with me, take me deep inside Lay with me, stay with me, lay with me Stay, with me Stay, with me I'll laugh for you, and I'll dance for you But don't ask me to shed any tears when I have to go You are a joy and a pleasure to love and to hold Your promise is as pure as the driven snow Passing ships in the night a touch distraught and light Eyes that brightly shine, your love tonight is mine Stay with me, lay with me, lay down by my side Stay with me, lay with me, take me deep inside Lay with me, stay with me, lay with me Stay, with me Stay, with me
