Stay

It's snowin' outside and you're still asleep I raised the blinds so I could see Exactly how the snow falls in Florence Without thinking, I drew an arrow on the window Fingertips to the frost, beneath it, just one word I wrote "stay," say you'll stay with me The leaves that once shivered on the trees Have fallen and gone to wherever it is they go When they leave, say you'll stay with me Through whatever the weather the rest of our days Tsunamis, cyclones, hurricanes Oh stay, say you'll stay with me I've been writin' you notes Pinnin' all my hopes to the pockets of your jacket So out there, you know I want you Say you'll stay with me It's been snowin' outside and you're still asleep It's a long way past noon I wander your house and these rooms Say you'll stay with me
