Holding my breath so I can slow down the Sun Mould every precious second passing under your thumb I could listen to you talk all day, I get lost in every word In the syllables of my own name; blessed petals falling from the air, I know The time it takes is always running out on us And it’s cold enough for you to say that it’s time for us to make our way home But can you stay even when the Sun’s gone down, can you stay? Can you stay when there’s nothing left to talk about? Can you stay a little longer? Your silhouette attaining every fantasy of mine With your unlit cigarette intangibly Held to light the wick of the candle I will not permit I could listen to you talk all day, I get lost in every word In the syllables of my own name; blessed petals falling from the air, I know That all it takes for me to walk out on us Is a light to fall on your array cause a shadow lit is in decay But can you stay even when the Sun’s gone down, can you stay? Can you stay when there’s nothing left to talk about? Can you stay a little longer?
