lyrics

Stay Yet,
Come sit down,
The night is young,
You'll wear your boots clean through.
So rest a while
next to your own true love,
And I'll keep you warm
Until the frost is gone.

Stay Yet,
Come sit down,
Give me your hand,
And I'll put your heart at ease,
Please,
Don't run away from your only love,
And I'll give you all I can
Before the morning comes.

The lights of the city
Are the coins on your eyes.
The moon on the river
Longs to swallow you
As I do.

The lights of the city
Are the coins on your eyes.
The moon on the river
Longs to swallow you
As I do.

Just rest a while
Next to your own true love,
And you won't feel colder,
You won't be frightened,
I'll trade my heart for yours
Before the morning comes.
