Hawksley Workman - Stop Joking Around lyrics

Stop joking around for one minute

I'd rather cry right now

And play those sad notes on the piano

Let the rest of the band go home

'Cause I'll lead you until morning

Please be here until the morning

Hold my hand until the morning

Brings the light of day to our eyes

And smell the burning leaves in autumn driveways

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

And leave the lamp lit low beside the window

If you can mop up a waterfall

'Cause I'll lead you until morning

Please be here until the morning

Hold my hand until the morning

Brings the light of day to our eyes

Just hop a train, you hate to fly

Come see the pictures of my eyes

You want to laugh, I want to cry, cry, cry, cry

Please be here until the morning

Hold my hand until the morning

Chase my fears until the morning

Till you promise life

Please be here
