Stay for a week
In sunny Donaghmede with me
Sleep when we’re dead
With the boys in the bed up all night
Then he gets in for a swim ‘cause the water’s good for him
And the light is a knife and it cuts right through your eyes
Stay for a week
In sunny Donaghmede with me
Maybe I won’t fold up so cold, I won’t
Every memory I retrieve I believe is good for me
When will we learn it’s his burn that we just can’t taste no more
Stay, stay, stay
‘Cause I feel so safe
In the warm embrace of the northern bay
Stay, stay, stay
‘Cause I think you’re safe
In the warm embrace of the northern bay
Stay, stay, stay
‘Cause I think we’re safe
In the warm embrace of the northern bay
‘Cause I think we’re safe
In the warm embrace of the northern bay
I feel so safe
In the warm embrace of the northern bay
(Stay)
(For the warm embrace of the northern bay)
I think we're safe
In the warm embrace of the northern bay
I think we're safe
In the warm embrace of the northern bay
(Stay)
(For the warm embrace of the northern bay)
(Stay)
(For the warm embrace of the northern bay)
(Stay)
(For the warm embrace of the northern bay)
