Don't You Stay

(albüm: Bon Apetit! - 1999)

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
