Stay

written by Tanya Donelly

.


Stay oh hoo oh oh stay
Stay oh hoo oh oh stay

Solomon dives for that big dusky pearl
Solomon sighs, he knows he's older than me
Sleeps with the fishes soon

Stay (stay) oh ooh oh oh stay
Stay (stay) oh ooh oh oh stay

Solomon crawls on the belly of God
Solomon falls on his face in love with me
He grows as old as the sea
deep where the fishes are

Stay oh ooh oh oh stay
Stay oh ooh oh oh stay
Stay oh ooh oh oh stay
Stay oh ooh oh oh stay

He lives in the yard
He keeps himself hard
He keeps himself homeless and heartless and hard
He sleeps under stairs
along with the heirs of nothing
and nothing means no one who cares

But I love him dear
and I love him dear
and I've loved him 100s of 1000s of years

Stay
Stay (stay) oh ooh oh oh stay
(Stay with me)
Stay (stay) oh ooh oh oh stay
(Stay with me)

It's not time for me to go
It's not time for me to go
It's not time for me to go

Stay
