You were the round face woman with curly hair Closed my eyes and you were everywhere Never thought I was the type to have a type But you sang so sweet, I could barely breath Let alone speak, please pardon me I was glad and terrified that night There were less stops than I thought when I got kicked off the train I was so ready to walk and then in you came Oh lover, stay and turn gray Oh, it's been a while you know me inside out It's hard to think of my life without you I still get starry eyed from time to time But I got dreams, don't let me forget The miserable man who measured in regret So I got to live my life with that in mind You press your chin to my chest as you look up at me And I can't think of a love that came so easily Oh lover, stay and turn gray If I've learned anything in my romantic past, it was Love her now in case it don't last And if it does, that will be the reason why Cause you You're one hell of a muse You whispered my heart without a leash or a chain And now it stays in the yard, it hardy ever complains Oh, lover, stay Oh, lover, stay Oh, lover, stay and turn gray
