St. Mary’s

Why would you do that?
Why would you do that?
Why would you leave us for a song
You know that we need you, and we hardly see you
You´ve already been gone too long
We sleep with one eye waiting for you
´Til eyes close front door, stumbling through
You should know better now but you go anyhow

Could you have stayed home tonight
Should you have stayed home tonight
Please just stay home tonight

I love you from a distance, my green bottled mistress
It may be the only constant
A common law marriage, a spirited carriage
Momentum, moss and time spent lost
St. Mary´s calling from down the street
I feel warm chaos beckoning me
If by dawn I´m not there
I´ve bedded down under stair

Should have stayed home tonight
Would have stayed home tonight
Won´t you stay home tonight
