Lyrics:



Stay, oh oh oh stay (x2)



Salmon dives for that big dusky pearl

Salmon sighs, he knows he's older than me



Sleeps with the fishes soon



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



Salmon crawls on the belly of God

Salmon 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 under 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.
