stay lyrics

I wait in hope of every day
Changes come as changes may
With every fear that I allay

I have a horror of this place
Yet I'm accustomed to it's face
And I am safe within it's maze

But you leave me nothin'
In my hometown
And now you want to pull us down

But I can hope
And I can pray
And I will stay

I traced my way from Bluebell Hill
To the park and further still
Onto the rise beyond the mounds

And from this point I could see
My life in it's entirety
Mapped before me on the ground

But you leave me nothing
In my hometown
And now you want to pull us down

But I can hope
And I can pray
And I will stay

Let the cold air bite my face
For I am angry at this place
Wherein nothing stays the same

It breaks my heart to let you go
When deep inside us we both know
That you will not be back again

But you leave me nothing
In my hometown
And now you want to pull us down

But I can hope
And I can pray
And I will stay
