The 77s - Don't Leave Me Long lyrics

You made a promise to me long ago Saying that you would never leave But this I know You were the one Not me who chose to blow When I loved you so Raise high the roofbeam I don't care, make room For more lonliness here It doesn't matter what you do or say I'm gonna love you, love you anyway Your love is my umbrella Let go in the wind Settle down upon me once again Don't leave me long Don't leave me lonely You'd been sending out the word to go I needed love I didn't want to know I pretended not to hear and So I stayed too long with you I stayed too long with you It's true You blew into me Like the wind and then you Blew right out again Your love is like the wind Blowing through the trees Stir it up Blow it down on me Don't leave me long Don't leave me lonely My love is as strong As the day is long Put an end to my pretty little song Don't leave me long Don't leave me lonely You never wanted to tell me What you were feeling Now I see You've got me reeling from it I really needed your love My wounds Have been bleeding enough Come patch me up, patch me up It was the seventh hour The seventh day The seventh Of the pretty month of May You said goodbye Went away And I'm not the same Not the same Not the same I don't want to live With this pain everyday I don't want to stay here In a bad way Don't leave me long Don't leave me lonely You take away every fear That I hold so dear You give away so much love I just gotta be near Don't leave me long Don't leave me long (C) 1995 7 and 7 is Music (Ascap)
