Dan Bern - Don't Make Me Leave lyrics

I would like to live forever With you and me as all the people All the roles would be defined Here's the church, here's the steeple But when I finally I panic when I start to speak Don't make me leave Ah, don't make me leave Ah, don't make me leave this place Can't there be a trap door When I finally have to go I could just drop to the earth Through a hole in the floor The further that I walk away Brings more and fear Don't make me leave Ah, don't make me leave Ah, don't make me leave this place Without you maybe I'd be dead Without you maybe I'd have bled All of the life out of me He he hey I guess I got to figure out How to break this chain People can chop you up Till nothing remains It's not that I'm unwilling To strike out on my own Don't make me leave Ah, don't make me leave Ah, don't make me leave this place Don't make me leave Ah, don't make me leave Ah, don't make me leave this place
