Never Leave Me

(album: Songs From A Blackbird - 2013)

I'm lying next to you
Watching you sleep
Can you hear when I whisper your name?
I hear you breathing
I'm counting your heartbeat
While thinking: oh it's such a shame

The day's almost here
Couldn't wait any longer
I want the darkness to stay
Tomorrow is here
And it's taking you away

You!
You should always be, lying next to me
Now I'm telling you
Won't you let it be, can't you stay with me?
Oh never leave me again

I count the days, the hours, the minutes
The weeks never seem to end
It feels so deceiving
When you're always leaving
I'm tired of playing this game

The night's almost here
I can't wait any longer
You're there when I close my eyes
When I wake up, I'm alone and I realize
You're always leaving
I'm only dreaming

You!
You should always be, lying next to me
Now I'm telling you
Won't you let it be, can't you stay with me?
Oh never leave me again
