Strawbs - Stay Awhile With Me lyrics

rate me

It seems that loving is a game that I can't win<br />

No sooner are you here than gone again<br />

Is there nothing I can say <br />

To change your mind and stay<br />

Alone with you is all I long to be<br />

Will you stay awhile with me.<br />

<br />

I've often gazed into my crystal ball<br />

To find out if you think of me at all<br />

But there's no reason why<br />

You should even try<br />

For there's nothing I can give as you can see<br />

If you stay awhile with me.<br />

<br />

Stay awhile with me<br />

And I will show you I'm true<br />

Stay awhile with me<br />

That's all I'm asking you to do.<br />

<br />

I see you in the street lamp's rusty gleam<br />

It casts a magic spell as in a dream<br />

The night is growing old<br />

Come in from the cold<br />

I'll lock the door and throw away the key<br />

If you stay awhile with me.
