stay me – oh, comfort me
it’s not the worst thing that could have happened –
save your tears
it’s not the first time this has happened –
save your pride

stay me – oh, comfort me
it’s not the worst thing that could have happened –
save your tears
at every turn you think you’ll find
this matchless world you’ve left behind
still breathless, waiting for the day
when all these cares are borne away
but time will never make amends
for might-have-beens…

no more a prophet or a seer
premonition counts for nothing here
