Sure - she’s beautiful - but she’s not you…
Please Don’t Stay
Lyrics by Mick Evans
Sure - she’s beautiful
but she’s not you -
she’s an angel
with a red cross turning blue -
hard to see the future
when it’s only passing through
I wish you away every day
like I pray every day she was you
Please don’t stay
now you’ve left me
talking to memories
now you’re gone -
Please don’t stay
now I’ve lost you
I need somethin’ real
to keep holdin’ on
Sure - she’s everything
but you were The One -
she’s my bible
but the congregation’s gone -
hard to grow new roots
when the water’s all rolled on
I wish you away every day
like I pray she was you all along
Please don’t stay
now you’ve left me
talking to memories
now you’re gone -
Please don’t stay
now I’ve lost you
I need somethin’ real
to keep holdin’ on
You’ve got your freedom
won’t you give me mine
you’re taking all the air
I’m running out of time
Please don’t stay
now you’ve left me
talking to memories
now you’re gone -
Please don’t stay
now I’ve lost you
I need somethin’ real
to keep holdin’ on
