lyrics

You were the round-faced woman with curly hair
I closed my eyes and you were everywhere
Never thought I was the type to have a type
But you sang so sweet I could barely breathe
Let alone speak, please- Pardon me
I was glad and terrified that night

There were less stops than I thought
when I got kicked off the train
I was so ready to walk and then in you came
oh, lover stay and turn grey

It's been a while, you know me inside out
It's hard to think of my life without you
I still get starry-eyed from time to time
But I've got dreams don't let me forget
that miserable men are measured in regret
So I've got to live my life with that in mind

You press your chin to my chest as you look up at me
And I can't think of a love that came so easily
Oh lover, stay and turn grey
If I learned anything in my romantic past it was
"love her now in case it don't last and if it does
that'll be the reason why"

You whispered my heart without a leash or a chain
Now it stays in the yard and hardly ever complains
Oh Lover, Stay and turn grey
