Would it be alright if I stayed here tonight Throw a lasso around the moon and pull it down And rope it on that old oak tree grown along the lake And watch the sunrise come over this town So we stood across the rain weathered rocks Just gazing on that bright starry sky There shooting wild and whirling I blinked and it was gone But your fingers were curled around mine Don't wait for me I'm telling you I'm fine it's plain to see There's something on your mind Don't wait for me I'm telling you I'm fine and I'll be alright I'll be alright When the storm had passed and the wind had died back And the dandelion field blew away Now in the air were wishes I could have used on you From the ashes of their old yellow manes Underneath the clouds a tailwind pushed us out And we paddled my old boat off the shore We drifted along the coastline around the rocky cape And I'd regret my whole life if I'm not yours So don't wait for me I'm telling you I'm fine it's plain to see There's something on your mind Don't wait for me I'm telling you I'm fine and I'll be alright I'll be alright Don't wait for me I'm telling you I'm fine it's plain to see There's something on your mind Don't wait for me I'm telling you I'm fine and I'll be alright I'll be alright
