lyrics

Stay With Me

Last night, I saw you in my dreams
All those years gone by, they disappeared
Never know for sure, if it’s you or your memory in mind
But almost seems like, our flame it burned too bright
And our wings got singed by the fire, you never were here...

At night. Those creatures start to appear
They come crawling, searching for something, that isn’t there
What happened when our hearts met, they caught spark
Burned too close then grew cold
But always too close, means that flame burns hotter than most
And the white hot embers they cool, and then blow away... Come

Stay with me, why won’t you stay with me
Just for awhile. It’s taking it’s time
Perhaps love might arrive. I do believe it’s time

But always too close, means that flame burns hotter than most
And those white hot embers they cool, and then blow away... Come

Stay with me. Why won’t you stay with me
Just for awhile. It’s taking it’s time
Perhaps love might arrive. I do believe it’s time
