Big Country - Don't You Stay lyrics

I don’t like to ask you But there are no choices left Upon that fateful day When you wore your wedding dress Did the sun shine brightly The clouds just drift on through The way that clouds on wedding days should do So don’t you stay another day And let your heart go on its way Does your blood run thin like water Does he treat you like he ought to I guess it’s time you should be on your way With the tears upon your lips The day you made your vow The words rang out around the church Do you hear them now Did the preacher take your hand And gently place the ring Did the congregation stand to sing Now don’t you stay another day And let your heart go on its way Does your blood run thin like water Does he treat you like he ought to I guess it’s time you should be on your way We keep the darkest lies For the sweetest smiles We keep our best goodbyes For the hardest miles For the coldest night So don’t you stay another day And let your heart go on its way Does your blood run thin like water Does he treat you like he ought to I guess it’s time you should be on your way Don’t you stay another day And let your heart go on its way Does your blood run thin like water Does he treat you like he ought to I guess it’s time you should be on your way
