Dan Bern Don't Make Me Leave
I would like to live forever
With you and me as all the people
All the roles would be defined
Here's the church, here's the steeple
But when I'm finally yanked way
I panic when I speak
Don't make me leave
Oh, don't make me leave
Oh, don't make me leave
This place
Can't there be a trap door
When I finally have to go
I could just drop to the earth
Through a hole in the floor
The further that I walk away
Brings more pain and fear
Don't make me leave
Oh, don't make me leave
Oh, don't make me leave
This place
Without you maybe I'd be dead
Without you maybe I'd have bled
All of the life out of me
So I guess I got to figure out
How to break this chain
People can chop you up
Till nothing remains
It's not that I'm unwilling
To strike out on my own
Don't make me leave
Oh, don't make me leave
Oh, don't make me leave
This place
