Lyrics Why Won't You Stay - American Music Club, Mark Eitzel

Why Won't You Stay

Will this night fulfill all the promises
And bury us in peace
Will it leave us free and forgetful
Or at least bring some sleep
Your eyes don’t catch the little things
As they narrow on your fall
I’m checking your pulse 'cause you’re so quiet
I’m kissing you but you don’t feel it
Why do you do this to me?
Showing me all that i’m good for
Is to watch you sleep as lifeless as an angel
She was the most beautiful cloud
That ever passed before the face of a girl
Seems like nothing’s too good for this life
Some things are too good for this world
And our names and our faces
Well they’re just spare change
In memory of a soul
Kept dropping spare change
Why won’t you stay?
In memory of a little girl
Who was far too much in love with the world
And who didn’t really wanna stick around for the end
Why won’t you stay?
