Lyrics

If I Stayed

If I stayed here with you

I'd make blackberry pies

From the fruit of your vine

Till I'd stripped your vine dry

If I were to stay

Hey hey, hey hey

If I stayed here with you

My feet would go hard

Walking barefoot all day

Picking berries in your yard

If I were to stay

Hey hey, hey hey

If I stayed here with you

My lips berry stained

We'd make love every day

Till you tired of me that way

If I were to stay

Hеy hey, hey hey

If I stayеd here with you

My skin would take your smell

My feet grow roots as well

Till I was no longer was myself

If I were to stay

Hey hey, hey hey

I were to stay

Hey hey, hey hey

If I were to stay

Hey hey, hey hey
