Make You Stay

(album: Filth And Dreams - 1999)

Summer friend
Said you were leaving without saying when
Now sades of winder fade a deeper blue
A frozen picture's all that's left of you

Shimmering
A city sprawl beneath a neon sky
The future fading as you close your eyes
Lying awake through every dreamless night
That one last look gave you away
This time I thought I'd make you stay

Suddenly
Those endless summers are a memory
A world that wasn't ever meant to be
An empty space that no-one else could see

Helplessly
Drowned in the darkness of the deepest night
You came back to me and made it right
Twisting, pouring every breath of life
That one last look gave you away
This time I'd thought I'd make you stay

Warm as a feeling
Warm as a thought you can't explain
Cold as a winter
Cold as the frozen tears on your face
Wide as the future
Wide as this open empty space
Silent and broken
Yesterday seemed so far away

I thought I'd make you stay
I'd make you stay
But one last look gave you away
