Lover, Please Stay

September the 8th

And summer is ending

Lying in bed, I’m watching [your back?]

You don’t wanna wait

And keep on pretending

The cares of the world will never come back

But lover, give me one more day

To keep our worries away

Soon our lives can resume, just please not today

Oh lover, please stay

Your heart at your feet

You had things to achieve

People to lead and debts to pay

You said, “Get out in the sun

There’s work to be done

While we are young we should make hay.”

But lover, give me one more day

To keep our future at bay

In time you can climb to the top, just please not today

Oh lover, please stay

You know it isn’t a crime

To waste a little more time

We’ve got our whole lives to strive, let’s skive tonight

December the 8th

And winter is coming

But don’t be afraid as the days turn grey

Outside there’s a storm and the bed’s still warm

Lie down and wait til the weather’s OK

And lover, give me one more day

Til springtime comes our way

Then we can start again, just please not today

Oh lover, please stay

Lover, please stay
