Here to Stay

In the beginning

you shone a brand

new limelight on me

I came out of darkness,

I came out of any vicious company

You drew me aside,

so satisfied with my pliancy

Free my soul tied

But don't you pass me by,

now that I believe

You're here to stay

So many times I've been trying

to make it realI cannot say "I loved",

for who can say

he was shot yesterday?

So I keep my soul aside,

upon this tide,

afraid of my decay

May not be now,

but still somehow

you'll let me slip awayYears go by,

I know myself a little more

As I go, I know you more

than you'll ever know.Free my soul...
