Wastelands (Stay The Night)

Song Lyrics

Wastelands (Stay The Night)

Intro:

All separate worlds, and one connection.

A grave rendezvous of the stars.

We’ve been through hell to find there’s no direction,

Yet closer still.

 

Pre-Chorus:

Danger’s up ahead

Can’t we just stay here instead?

Time together may be slippin’ away

 

The world is moving on

Things we used to know are gone

Darling one more day I’ll ask you to stay

 

Chorus:

I just want to stay the night

Breath in the fresh air just once more

We’ll let the morning sunlight be our guide

No telling what’s behind that door

 

Pre-Chorus:

Time is shifting hands

Thoughts are breaking into strands

Soon the only color left will be gray

 

The fire here is warm

In this calm before the storm

Darling won’t you stay for another day?

 

Bridge:

Tell me,

Tell me all your favorite stories

Fields of Rye and Morning Glories

Won't you hold me,

Hold me in just one more evening

We can hold onto that feeling

 

Chorus:

I just want to stay the night

Breath in the fresh air just once more

We’ll let the morning sunlight be our guide

No telling what’s behind that door

 

Baby I just wanna to stay the night

Laugh at your bad jokes just once more

& when the wastelands call I’ll be alright

If I’m with you I know for sure
