I have seen you at the window I've heard you at the door I've felt the world convince you You could even up the score Watched you carry all the mem'ries Of a life that came before Then went away But I will stay I remember how you told me You felt it all might fall apart You barely made it into this world And you've been fighting from the star It's not easy to believe But I will protect your heart In every way I will stay Warm rain on the water A lone star in the night I brave dreams to hold on to It will be alright And it's hard to keep believing All the stories you've been told And to watch the way you try, babe Is a sight to behold And sometimes you will get angry And sometimes you will get cold But that's okay I will stay There's a ghost in every garden And a lock on every door And all of them remind you Of the ones who came before There's a pain in every mem'ry You don't have to hold no more Now the summer sun is fading And the autumn's in the hall And if time would just stop moving It wouldn't bother you at all But your story isn't finished You got so much more to say And I can't wait So I will stay I will stay
