Standard (EADGBE)

Stay, oh oh oh stay (x2)

Solomon dives for that big dusky pearl

Solomon sighs, he knows he's older than me

 Sleeps with the fishes soon

Stay (stay), oh oh oh stay (x2)

Solomon crawls on the belly of God

Solomon falls on his face in love with me.

 He grows as old as the sea

 Deep where the fishes are.

Stay, oh oh oh stay (x4)

He lives in the yard, he keeps himself hard

 He keeps himself homeless and heartless and hard

 He sleeps on the stairs along with the heirs

 Of nothing and nothing means no one who cares

 But I love him dear and I love him dear

 And I've loved him hundreads of thousands of years.

Stay. Stay (stay with me) oh oh oh stay.

Stay. Stay (stay with me) oh oh oh stay.

It's not time for me to go. (x3)

Stay.
