Darlin' don't mark my words I can't know How long, how fast, how deep, how clear this river flows As I leave those crimson lips, those delta eyes, I hear Stay, please stay,you come and go just like that, couldn't we backtrack? Stay, please stay, I can't stomach this How could you give our lovin' up for a fool's dream in an empty cup? Midnight moon shines its light for all to see It comes and goes like tired fools with simplicity Washed to shore upon this beach are tears for me Stay, please stay, you come and go just like that, couldn't we backtrack? Stay, please stay, I can't stomach this How do you smile and say good bye with a bag on your back and not a tear in your eye? Stay, please stay, you come and go just like that, couldn't we backtrack? Stay, please stay, I can't stomach this What can I do with a love that gathers dust in a busy room?
