Amanda Shires Stay
It's snowin outside
And you're still asleep
I raised the blinds so I could see
Exactly how the snow falls in Florence
Without thinking I drew an arrow on the window
Fingertips to the frost
Beneath it just one word
I wrote "stay", say you'll stay with me
The leaves that once shivered on the trees
Have fallen and gone to wherever it is they go
When they leave
Say you'll stay with me
Through whatever the weather, the rest of our days
Tsunamis, cyclones, hurricanes
Oh stay, say you'll stay with me
I've been writin you notes
Pennin all my hopes
To the pockets of your jacket
So out there you know
I want you
Say you'll stay with me
It's been snowin outside
And you're still asleep
It's a long way past noon
I wander your house and these rooms
Say you'll stay with me
