Maybe I’ll Stay a While

[Verse 1]
It's been a long December too long for my taste
But I am a traveller and this is a place
I'm leaving this evening to be on my way
To somewhere farther from you

[Verse 2]
Hands in my pocket I walk a while
Until an open sign calls and I step inside
I'll stay for a minute then I'll have to try
To get a little farther from you

[Chorus 1]
I sit by the window and wait for my drink
People walk by me and smile
It's warm by the fireplace, dark in the street
Maybe I'll stay a while
Maybe I'll stay a while

[Verse 3]
I've been living this way for a couple of years
A little time there and a little time here
Leaving's the only way I can stay clear
And keep from thinking about you

[Chorus 1]
I sit by the window and wait for my drink
People walk by me and smile
It's warm by the fireplace, dark in the street
Maybe I'll stay a while
Maybe I'll stay a while

[Verse 4]
Lately I've been thinking I've grown a little tired
And I've grown a little stronger than I realized
I'm starting to remember what life was like
Before I started thinking about you

[Verse 5]
It's been a long December too long for my taste
But I am a traveller and this is a place
I was leaving this evening to be on my way
But I'm a little bit more over you now
A little bit more over you

[Chorus 2]
I sit by the window she brings me my drink
Turns around and smiles
It's warm in here, it's cold on the street
Maybe I'll stay a while
Maybe I'll stay a while
Maybe I'll stay a while
Maybe I'll stay a while
