Time to Stay

time to stay

when you're out of magic mornings ...
and no sign that love is on your side ...
when you're stoned and alone ... and bound for breaking down ...
yet you want to resolve this some way ...

younger days ... you'd have walked away ...
you'll live on ... love another ...
if you run you'll be safe ...

it's time to stay when ...
the thought of running leaves you ...
in the end ... you want all that weight ...
it's time to stay when ...
all the time you've been here ...
what you wanted just got made ...

almost out at the touch of dawn ... and you ...
you lay down ... 'cause you've come some long way ...
you allay in your own mistaken mind ...
all those months of doubt ... in that warm light ...

and you know ... you see more this time ...
in the mornings ... through the miles ...
you'll hear somebody say ...

it's time to stay when ...
all the time you've been here ...
we never fall ... the bus stop can wait ...
it's time to stay when ...
the thought of running leaves you ...
in the end ... you want all that weight ...

it's time to stay when ...
all the time you've been here ...
what you wanted ... just got made ...
she saw ... love in a bad light ...

storms when they came ... dissolved your pain ...
and those ghosts faded from around your door ...
when you're up late at night ...
no longer put love on trial ... you're coming down ...
coming out of disguise ...

it's time to stay when ...
it's time to stay when ...
it's time to stay when ...
all the time you've been here ...
you never fell ... the bus stop can wait ...
it's time to stay when ...
in all the time you've been here ...
not a doubt ... it does stop the pain ...
not a doubt ... it does stop the pain ...
