Why stay |
| [00:01.88] |
|
| [00:04.61] |
Why stay |
| [00:05.81] |
|
| [00:07.11] |
So steadfast and stolid and stoic and sold |
| [00:11.69] |
|
| [00:12.60] |
For day after every day |
| [00:15.72] |
|
| [00:16.30] |
Why stay |
| [00:17.17] |
|
| [00:18.08] |
Why stay |
| [00:19.84] |
|
| [00:20.82] |
Why not simply give in and get on with living |
| [00:23.45] |
Cause everyone knows you tried |
| [00:25.49] |
But somewhere something died on the way |
| [00:30.10] |
|
| [00:30.65] |
Tell me why you stay |
| [00:31.70] |
Why stay |
| [00:32.79] |
Why stay |
| [00:33.81] |
Enduring and coping and hurting and hoping |
| [00:35.88] |
For day after fucking day |
| [00:38.02] |
Why stay |
| [00:39.21] |
Why stay |
| [00:40.27] |
Why not simply end it |
| [00:41.56] |
All comprehend it |
| [00:42.41] |
And most of the world would say |
| [00:44.26] |
He's better off that way to be free |
| [00:48.83] |
|
| [00:49.38] |
And maybe so is she |
| [00:51.16] |
|
| [00:53.93] |
A promise |
| [00:54.66] |
A boy says forever |
| [00:56.18] |
|
| [00:57.24] |
A boy says |
| [00:57.91] |
Whatever may come well come through |
| [01:00.81] |
And who can know how when all I know now |
| [01:03.76] |
To be true is this promise that I make to you |
| [01:09.53] |
|
| [01:11.40] |
A question |
| [01:12.26] |
A boy wonders whether |
| [01:14.02] |
A boy wonders |
| [01:15.09] |
The two stay together |
| [01:16.52] |
The way that they stay |
| [01:18.37] |
For year after year |
| [01:20.25] |
For love or foe fear |
| [01:21.52] |
Either way |
| [01:22.58] |
|
| [01:23.30] |
That's the promise |
| [01:24.57] |
That I made that day |
| [01:27.52] |
Here's what I say |
| [01:28.59] |
To the girl who was burning so brightly |
| [01:32.13] |
Like the light from the orion above |
| [01:35.94] |
And still I will search for her nightly |
| [01:39.15] |
If you see her please send her my love |
| [01:42.45] |
And the boy was a boy for all seasons |
| [01:45.68] |
The boy is long |
| [01:46.90] |
The boy is long-lost to me now |
| [01:49.32] |
So lost |
| [01:50.29] |
The man has forgotten his reasons |
| [01:53.33] |
But the man still remembers his vow |
| [01:58.22] |
|
| [01:59.25] |
A promise |
| [02:00.01] |
A man say forever |
| [02:01.56] |
|
| [02:02.77] |
A man says I'll never regret or let you |
| [02:06.39] |
The promise I made to stay |
| [02:09.02] |
And I stayed true |
| [02:11.86] |
|
| [02:13.51] |
Knowing one day wed remember that joy |
| [02:16.93] |
You'd remember that girl |
| [02:18.21] |
I'd remember that boy |
| [02:20.19] |
Til we do the promise I made |
| [02:23.06] |
I'll make it brand new |
| [02:26.21] |
|
| [02:26.83] |
The promise that I made to you |
