Daddy Stay
by McpMusicGurl
Lyrics
Verse 1
Your boots by the door
Still muddy from rain
Your chair in the corner
Still knows your name
I stood in the hall
With my hand on the frame
And the house held its breath
When they said you were gone
Pre-Chorus
I kept waiting for you
To call me in
To laugh and say
"Girl, don't look like that"
But the room stayed still
And the ceiling stayed gray
And my mouth said your name
Like a prayer slipping away
Chorus
Daddy, stay with me
Stay with me now
I don't know how
To let you go
Daddy, stay with me
Stay with me now
(Stay with me)
But the dark took you home
Verse 2
Your old ring on the sink
Your keys in a bowl
Your jacket still hangs
Like a body I know
I touched every thing
Like it might answer back
Like your hands were in there
In the seams of the black
Pre-Chorus
I kept waiting for you
To call me in
To laugh and say
"Girl, don't look like that"
But the room stayed still
And the ceiling stayed gray
And my mouth said your name
Like a prayer slipping away
Chorus
Daddy, stay with me
Stay with me now
I don't know how
To let you go
Daddy, stay with me
Stay with me now
(Stay with me)
But the dark took you home
Bridge
If love could hold bones
I'd carry you back
I'd give up my heartbeat
To hear you say "Come here"
Now I talk to the quiet
Like you're on the stairs
And I leave one light on
In case you come there
Final Chorus
Daddy, stay with me
Stay with me now
I don't know how
To let you go
Daddy, stay with me
Stay with me now
(Stay with me)
But the dark took you home
Daddy, stay with me
Stay with me now
I'll love you through this
Long after you're gone
