135 Stay with me

Dawn breaks above the neon lights
Soon the day dissolves the night
Warm the sheets caresse
my emptiness as you leave

Lying here in the afterglow
Tears in spite of all I know
Pride’s a foolish sin
I can’t give in
Can’t you see

Though you want to stay
You’re gone before the day
I’ll never say those words
How could I
Stay with me ‘til the morning

I’ve walked the streets alone before
Safe I’m locked behind the door
Strong in my belief
No joy or grief touches me

But when you close your eyes
It’s then I realise
There’s nothing left to prove
So darling
Stay with me
‘til the morning

When you close your eyes
It’s then I realize
There’s nothing left to prove
So darling
Stay with me
‘til the morning

Stay with me
‘til the morning
