Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Stay
Oh, stay
Stay
Oh, stay
[Verse 2]
Solomon dives for that big, dusty gold
Solomon sighs, he knows he's older than me
Sleeps with the fishes soon
[Verse 3]
Stay
Oh, stay
Stay
Oh, stay
[Verse 4]
Solomon crawls on the belly of God
Solomon falls on his face, in love with me
He grows as old as the sea
Deep where the fishes are
[Verse 5]
Stay
Oh, stay
Stay
Oh, stay
Stay
Oh, stay
Stay
Oh, stay
[Verse 6]
He lives in the yard
He keeps himself hard
He keeps himself homeless and heartless
And hard
[Verse 7]
He sleeps under stairs
Along with the years
Of nothing and nothing
Means no one who cares
[Verse 8]
But I love him dear
And I love him dear
And I've loved him hundreds of thousands of years
[Verse 9]
Stay
Stay (Stay with me)
Oh, stay (Stay with me)
Will you stay (Stay with me)
Oh (Stay)
Stay with me
[Verse 10]
It's not time for me to go
It's not time for me to go
It's not time for me to go
Stay
