In the sand you used to lay,
You'd be there at my side,
As the night fell on the shore,
She had gone,
Fmaj7 *
Read the story in the papers,
Of a lover who had gone,
Think that she has moved away,
No one heard from her at all,
Fmaj7 *
Someone must have heard her leave,
Saw something,
Get a job or get a place,
All these questions made,
Fmaj7 * Em
Comes as no surprise,
Fmaj7 * Em
Said you'd never leave,
Pray that you are safe,
Comes as no surprise,
Stay with me tonight,
Stay with me tonight.
(verse begins immediately at the end of the Chorus)
Every year I will return,
And briefly you are there,
And you always look the same,
Nothing changes,
Fmaj7 *
You have shot me to the bone,
And ripped me up again,
Was the cruelest thing to do,
Came as no surprise,
Fmaj7 *
Met a soldier from the war,
Stole her things,
Died alone a junkie,
I still wait for you,
Fmaj7 *
Comes as no surprise,
Fmaj7 * Em
Said you'd never leave,
Pray that you are safe,
Comes as no surprise,
Stay with me tonight,
Stay with me tonight,
Stay with me tonight.
