Lyrics You Stay Here - Richard Shindell

You Stay Here

You stay here
And I’ll go look for wood
Do not fear
I’ll be back soon enough
Do not let the fire die
Neither let it burn too bright
You stay here
And I’ll go look for bread
And if I can
Some sugar for the kids
Dry your eyes — I’ll be alright
I know where they’ve laid the mines
You stay here
And I’ll go look for coats
There may still be
Some out on the road
We’ll wash them clean with melted snow
The kids don’t ever have to know
You stay here
And I’ll go look for guns
I think I know
Where they’ve hidden some
Cause if the Tiger comes one night
We won’t go without a fight
You stay here
And I’ll go look for God
Not so hard
Cause I know where he’s not
I will bring him back with me
Make him listen — make him see
You stay here
And I’ll go look for wood
