GILES:



You're not ready for the world outside

You keep pretending but you just can't hide

i know i said that I'd be standing by your side...

but I...

Your paths unbeaten and it's all uphill

and you can't meet it but you never will

and i'm the reason you're your standing still

but I...



I wish I could say the right words to lead you through this land

Wish I could play the father and take you by the hand

Wish I could stay

but now I understand

I'm standing in the way



The cries around you you don't here at all

Coz you know i'm here to take that call

So you just lie there when you should be standing tall

but I....



I wish I could lay your arms down and let you rest at last

Wish I could slay your demons but now that time has passed

Wish i could stay

You're stallwort standing fast

But I'm standing in the way,

I'm just standing in the way



TARA:



I'm under your spell

God how could this be?

Playing with my memory

You know I've been through hell

Willow don't you see?

There'll be nothing left of me

You made me believe



Giles: believe me i don't wanna go



Both: and it'll grieve me coz i love you so

but we both know



Giles: Wish I could say the right words to lead you through this land

(Tara: Wish I could trust that it was just this once but i must do what i must)

Giles: Wish I could play the father and take you by the hand

(Tara: Can't adjust to this disgust, which I, I just wish i could)



Both: Staaaaay

wish I could stay

wish I could stay

wish I could....stay.....
