Intro
(Guitar 2^)
[The 2 guitars continue this picking pattern for the whole song]
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 fault
I'm checkin' your pulse, 'cuz you're so quiet
I'm kissin' you, but you don't feel it
Why'd you do this to me?
Showin' me that all 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 girl
Seems like nothing's too good for this life
Yeah, some things are too good for this world
And our names and our faces
Amount to just spare change
The memory of us all
Kept droppin' spare change
Why won't you stay?
Why won't you stay?
Why won't you stay?
Why--- won't you stay, hey?
(Instrumental)
A memory of a little girl
Who was far too much in love with the world
And who really didn't wanna stick around for the end
Why won't you stay?
Why won't you stay?
Why won't you stay?
Why won't you stay?
end on D.
