Joe Henry - Don't Tell Me lyrics

[Verse 1] Don't tell me to stop Tell the rain not to drop Tell the wind not to blow Cause you said so Tell the sun not to shine Not to get up this time, no, no Let it fall by the way But don't leave me where I lay down [Chorus] Tell me love isn't true It's just something that we do Tell me everything I'm not But please don't tell me to stop [Verse 2] Tell the leaves not to turn But don't ever tell me I'll learn, no, no Take the black off a crow But don't tell me I have to go Tell the bed not to lay Like the open mouth of a grave, yeah Not to stare up at me Like a calf down on its knees [Chorus] Tell me love isn't true It's just something that we do Tell me everything I'm not But don't ever tell me to stop (Don't you ever) Tell me love isn't true It's just something that we do (Don't you ever) Tell me everything I'm not But don't ever tell me to stop [Outro] (Don't you ever) Please don't Please don't Please don't tell me to stop (Don't you ever tell me) Don't you ever Don't ever tell me to stop (Tell the rain not to drop) Tell the bed not to lay Like a open mouth of a grave, yeah Not to stare up at me Like a calf down on its knees
