Maybe I'll Stay A While

It's been a long December too long for my taste

But I am a traveller and this is a place

I'm leaving this evening to be on my way

To somewhere farther from you

Hands in my pocket I walk a while

Until an open sign calls and I step inside

I'll stay for a minute then I'll have to try

To get a little farther from you

Chorus:

I sit by the window and wait for my drink

People walk by me and smile

It's warm by the fireplace, dark in the street

Maybe I'll stay a while

Maybe I'll stay a while

I've been living this way for a couple of years

A little time there and a little time here

Leaving's the only way I can stay clear

And keep from thinking about you

(Chorus)

Lately I've been thinking I've grown a little tired

And I've grown a little stronger than I realized

I'm starting to remember what life was like

Before I started thinking about you

It's been a long December too long for my taste

But I am a traveller and this is a place

I was leaving this evening to be on my way

But I'm a little bit more over you now

A little bit more over you

Chorus 2:

I sit by the window she brings me my drink

Turns around and smiles

It's warm in here, it's cold on the street

Maybe I'll stay a while

Maybe I'll stay a while

Maybe I'll stay a while

Maybe I'll stay a while
