Lyrics

Stay

[Verse 1]

A city of strangers all know your name

Circling ‘round, moths to a fire

If I know you better, I shouldn’t say

I’m losing my words, but keeping my way

[Chorus]

And I will stay with you

When everyone’s gone, when everyone runs

Yes I will still be true

When everyone turns, when everyone runs

To some other sun

[Verse 2]

Come Sunday morning drowning in dawn

Could this be the end of an endless night?

[Extended Chorus]

But I’ll stay with you

When everyone’s gone, when everyone runs

Yes I will still be true

When everyone turns, when everyone runs

When the music dies and the lights come on

I'll stay with you, I'll stay with you

When you feel your days are running down

I’ll stay with you, I'll stay with you

I'll stay with you

I'll stay with you

I'll stay with you

I'll stay with you, with you

I'll stay with you

Stay with you

I'll be with you

I'll be with you

Stay with you
