Stay
Verse: At night sometimes,
I have these quiet conversations with the sky
The moon and her familiar light
are painting constellations in my eyes
I know these were the longest years,
but time plays all the tricks on me they say
I’m standing with a flashlight
in my garden here at midnight
And I wonder what it is that makes you stay
But you stay.
Verse: The rain fills droplets into pails
and she never seems to worry about taking up space
I guess I’m free to travel the world,
but I’d rather memorize the roadmap of your face
And you wonder what it is that makes me stay.
But I stay
Bridge: The current won’t come the way you want it to,
It just latches on and takes you with it
Baby, this love is the current
And the steady wind that carries us away
And we wonder what it is that makes it stay
But it stays
Verse: There’s a bird nesting in a dying pear tree
And she doesn’t seem to worry about how long it will take
I guess this world is full of sweetness,
Though the wind could pull our branches down to break
And we wonder what it is that makes us stay
But we stay
