Stop Joking Around

Stop joking around for one minute

I'd rather cry right now

Play the sad notes on the piano

Let the rest of the band go home

I'll need you until the morning

Please be here until the morning

Hold my hand until the morning

Brings the light of day to our eyes

Smell the burning leaves in the Autumn driveways

We'll be out on the road til way past supper

Leave a lamp lit low beside the window

If you can mop up a waterfall.

Just hop a train you hate to fly

Come see the picture of my eyes

You want to laugh, I want to cry
