lyrics

STAY WITH ME

This is the heartache of my heart.
Here is the wound, and here the smarting.
This is as well my, well, my well of joy.
Here is my luckiness employing me.

Though in the sunlight I’ve often played,
This has been well-used too, this row of shade trees.
Where is your cradle and your last bed?
Here with these same notes my mother led me through.

Does sidewalk parquetry make you play?
Yes, and I’m dancing from grey to grey,
Because when I move the tune chooses to stay with me.
