stop joking around

for one minute

i'd rather cry right now



and play the sad notes on

the piano

let the rest of the band go home



cos i'll need you

until the morning

please be here

until the morning

hold my hand

until the morning

brings the light of day

to our eyes



and smell the burning leaves

in autumn driveways

we'll be out on the road

'til way past supper



and leave the lamp light low

beside the window

if you can mop up a waterfall



cos i'll need you

until the morning

please be here

until the morning

hold my hand

until the morning

brings the light of day

to our eyes



just hop a train

you hate to fly

come see the picture of my eyes



you want to laugh

i want to cry

cry cry cry



please be here

until the morning

hold my hand

until the morning

chase my fate

into your promised land

please be here

eye-e-eye-e-eye-e-eyes
