Don’t Leave Me
Blameless is the world they say
When promise comes in early May
The blush of Spring to Autumn red
Then when it snows, she lies again…oh
Dear I count the hours I spend
Beneath the moonlight’s silvery send
But is it shame or my own vanity
That makes her turn her back on me?
Don’t leave me
Don’t leave me
Each morn I hear a songbird sing
She stirs me from my starlit dreams
I search for her with dusty eyes
But soft as snow, away she flies…oh
For years she laid right by my side
The truest friend in dogs-hair hide
With eyes of frost, and brittle bones
In spirit worlds she lies alone
Don’t leave me
Don’t leave me
A child’s game is youth and beauty
Golden hair and lips of ruby
But time is cruel and in a hurry
Silver hair and a face of worry…oh
Is it selfish but to ask?
Just how long your love with last?
The brightest star still fades at dawn
Might someday your love be gone?
Don’t leave me
Don’t leave me
