ALISON MOYET - STAY lyrics

A wait in hope of every day

Changes come as changes may

With every fear that I allay

I have a horror of this place

Yet I'm accustomed to its face

And I am safe within its maze

But you leave me nothing in my hometown

And now you want to pull us down,

But I can hope, and I can pray, and I will stay

I traced my way from Bluebell Hill

To the park and further still

Onto the rise beyond the mounds

And from this point I can see

My life in its entirety

Mapped before me on the ground

But you leave me nothing in my hometown

And now you want to pull us down,

But I can hope, and I can pray, and I will stay

Let the cold air bite my face

For I am angry at this place

Wherein nothing stays the same

It breaks my heart to let you go

When deep inside us we both know

That you will not be back again

But you leave me nothing in my hometown

And now you want to pull us down,

But I can hope, and I can pray, and I will stay
