Dear love

Won't you lay
Down beside where I've been laying
You change with the weather
You change with the weather, please stay
Down beside my cold shaking body
And as we get older
If you leave, do well

Dear love he was a good man
And I hope he rise to the occasion
And I hold a way to you
With every moment away, the shorter my stay

So lay,
Down beside my nervous sinking body
You promised not to change
You promised not to change, right away
Here in the bright street lights of a city
You promised me
But if you leave, I hope you do well

Dear love he was a good man
And I hope we rise to the occasion
So I run away to you
With every moment away, the shorter my stay

Who would ever want to spend so much time alone
Praise your name
Secrets we never got to tell

Lay,
Down beside my ever shaking body
Depends on the weather
Depends on the weather, just stay
Your cold blood running like a river
You promised me,
You promised me

Dear love he was a good man
And I hope he rise to the occasion
So I hold a way to you
With every moment a way to shun the mistake

It's too late
I'm always where I stand
