Don’t Leave Me Long

[Verse 1]
Ah, you made a promise to me long ago
Saying that you'd 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 loneliness here
It doesn't matter what you do or say
I'm gonna love you, love you anyway

[Chorus 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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
Ah, you blew into me like the wind, and then
You blew right out again

[Chorus 2]
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

[Bass Solo]

[Bridge]
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

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
It was the seventh hour, the seventh day
The seventh of the pretty month of May
Yeah, you said goodbye
Went away
And I'm not the same, not the same, not the same

[Chorus 3]
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
