Lyrics

“Let Us Just Stay”

(chorus)
Someday you’ll have to admit
Someday you’ll have to admit
Someday you’ll have to admit
Someday you’ll have to admit
In the back of your mind
In the back of your mind
In the back of your mind
Let us just stay

(verse)
Twisted words they cut and stain
They come down hard, like pellets of rain
I can’t rewind the watch
I can’t run backwards and make you stop

It did no good to try and close the lane
Your life in Canterbury always remained
Your fathers candy shop
Chocolate roses and soda pop

And the ash and fire
Like tread on the tires is burning way to low
And the house that sold sits Minnesota cold
And it’s covered in leaves and rain leaves and rain

(chorus)
Someday you’ll have to admit
Someday you’ll have to admit
Someday you’ll have to admit
Someday you’ll have to admit
In the back of your mind
In the back of your mind
In the back of your mind
Let us just stay
Let us just stay

(Solo)

(verse)
I see the pictures every day
A frozen smile that I can’t erase
The lords the gods the shepherds and the saints
Can’t take me away

I feel the motion the rocking of the cage
Inside the hole of the ship or the back of the train
A penny for a dollar
A wooden cross couldn’t float in water

And the future lies
Where my wings will fly
As angels come and go
And I see the sign and they tell me why
Maybe you see the same
Feel the same

(chorus)
Someday you’ll have to admit
Someday you’ll have to admit
Someday you’ll have to admit
Someday you’ll have to admit
In the back of your mind
In the back of your mind
In the back of your mind
Let us just stay
Let us just stay
