Books and covers and part time lovers Spinning in rooms in cities of rust I'm stranded, struck out on this line There's smoke and fire and steel and wire And glass and spire and dust One to the floor at dawn with lips tied and drawn Sleepless nights spent, with angels heaven sent Stay with me, lay with me, lay down by my side Stay with me, lay with me, take me deep inside Lay with me, stay with me, lay with me Stay, with me Stay, with me All of us lying there in the dreams Speak of days and another place I wander as the gypsy under a beckoning moon Speak of time, and another face They would in languid cry a fleeting furtive sigh From the cradle to the grave love to desire and crave Stay with me, lay with me, lay down by my side Stay with me, lay with me, take me deep inside Lay with me, stay with me, lay with me Stay, with me Stay, with me I'll laugh for you, and I'll dance for you But don't ask me to shed any tears when I have to go You are a joy and a pleasure to love and to hold Your promises, are as pure as the driven snow Passing shapes in the night the touch distraut and light As you brightly shine, your love tonight is mine Stay with me, lay with me, lay down by my side Stay with me, lay with me, take me deep inside Lay with me, stay with me, lay with me Stay, with me Stay, with me
