Don't You Stay

I don’t like to ask you

But there are no choices left

Upon that fateful day

When you wore your wedding dress

Did the sun shine brightly

The clouds just drift on through

The way that clouds on wedding days should do

So don’t you stay another day

And let your heart go on its way

Does your blood run thin like water

Does he treat you like he ought to

I guess it’s time you should be on your way

With the tears upon your lips

The day you made your vow

The words rang out around the church

Do you hear them now

Did the preacher take your hand

And gently place the ring

Did the congregation stand to sing

Now don’t you stay another day

And let your heart go on its way

Does your blood run thin like water

Does he treat you like he ought to

I guess it’s time you should be on your way

We keep the darkest lies

For the sweetest smiles

We keep our best goodbyes

For the hardest miles

For the coldest night

So don’t you stay another day

And let your heart go on its way

Does your blood run thin like water

Does he treat you like he ought to

I guess it’s time you should be on your way

Don’t you stay another day

And let your heart go on its way

Does your blood run thin like water

Does he treat you like he ought to

I guess it’s time you should be on your way
