odetta hartman - stay lyrics

Loading...

[verse]
i dreamt your eyelashes kissed my shoulder blade
on the tip that points out when beside you i lay
in this little cold bed in the ironwork frame
but i can’t convince you to stay

[verse]
though i only just met you through a white window pane
shrouded in blinking meadows, on a feather you came
‘cross a bridge to my door, well, they’re one and the same
but i can’t convince you to stay

[chorus]
oh, baby, i can’t convince you to stay
oh, baby, no, i can’t convince you to stay

[verse]
i’m just trying to go uptown, i’m just trying to go up
draw a tree branch in ashes, raise your thin silver cup
to the open+door guest who’ll embrace at thе cuff
but i can’t convince you to stay

[verse]
now it’s blocks of my weekdays that expand while you’rе off
give a pinch to my side+arm and say, “kid, toughen up”
but i can’t give or take when i’ve had much too much
and i can’t convince you to stay
[chorus]
oh, baby, no, i can’t convince you to stay
oh, baby, no, i can’t convince you to stay
and i
and i can’t convince you
no, i can’t convince you to stay

[bridge]
and i’m wondering now, as the sun’s going down
do you want me, need me, love me?
and i, oh i
i would never leave you, no, i would never leave you

[verse]
say, “i don’t want nothin’ but delight on my tongue
and really, what is the difference between a couple bread crumbs?”
well, i’d follow your pattern, skipping stones you have flung
but i can’t convince you to stay

[verse]
finally, crystal clear dew drops ring with harmonies sung
by a chorus of cheepers tremblin’ like they were rung
and the spiderweb tarot off the window pane hung
but, baby, i can’t convince you to stay

[chorus]
oh, baby, no, i can’t convince you to stay
oh, baby, no, i can’t convince you to stay
and i
and i can’t convince you
no, i can’t convince you to stay
[chorus]
oh, baby, no, i can’t convince you to stay
oh, baby, no, i can’t convince you to stay
and i
i can’t convince you
no, i can’t convince you to stay
no, i can’t convince you to stay
no, baby, i can’t convince you to
stay
