Salt And Ink

Gone

It won't last, my friend

It'll pass, my friend

As the sunbeams dispel

The stars, my friend

Stay awhile, my friend

Try to smile, my friend

Tether your bleeding soul

To the bedside, my friend

I won't cry, I won't try

I won't tell you to be strong

Just stay with me, cuz

That's where you belong

I won't ask you to contain

Those trophies of pain

You cry, I'll sit by

The whole night long.

I'll tell you stories

I'll sing to your soul

Give you all the joys

Your heart can hold.

I'll dress you up, make you

Your morning cup of tea

Just stay, just stay-

Oh, stay with me.

My chest's ablaze with sighs, my friend

Don't know how to go on with life, my friend

Those dreamlike days, in your warm embrace

Haunt me everytime I close my eyes, my friend.

I'm alone, my friend

Turned to stone, my friend

Can't talk, got no one to phone, my friend.

And you're gone, my friend

With the dawn, my friend

Left me a photo

And a song, my friend.
