Stay

Down at the bottom of the well, in the shadows I can tell
That your eyes are softly smiling
I made a wish it was at me, or I might as well just be
Stranded on a desert island

If there’s hope, toss a rope and I’ll cling to it like ivy
If there’s not, let me rot in sweet decay
Life ain’t long, but this song has the power to survive me
Undeterred, here’s the word with which I pray:
Stay, because I live to love you

I really oughta climb the wall, but with every time I fall,
You drift off a little further
Now echoes bounce across the stone, but the voice is just my own
You are no more than a murmur

There’s a cavalcade of static streaming from the radio
And it’s nothing short of magic that I’m someone you could know
So just for me hear this plea before you go
