I know my heart is stained with your name
Our love sinks, and it brings an overflow
To my veins
But, I live in a lover’s slumber
And you open the gate of my dreams
And I become deaf from the thunder
As you whisper sweet songs to me
And why won’t ya stay (stay) oh stay with me
I need you baby as much as you need me
Why won’t ya stay (stay) oh stay with me
I don’t want the devil to be our company
My soul sings
and your beauty resounds
Breaking the walls of my misery
And oh I crumble with the pieces of you
No longer tattered nor bruised
But, I live in a lover’s slumber
And you open the gate of my dreams
And I become deaf from the thunder
As you whisper sweet songs to me
And why won’t ya stay, stay, stay, stay with me
I need you baby as much as you need me
And why won’t ya stay, stay, stay, stay with me
I don’t want the devil to be our company
Why won’t ya stay, stay, stay, stay with me
I need you baby as much as you need me
And why won’t ya stay, stay, stay, stay with me
I don’t want the devil to be our company
