## Verse 1 Moonlight catches on my windowpane Autumn leaves dance like a memory Everything I touch, everything I see Sends my thoughts drifting out to sea Like little boats lost in the night Searching for your distant light (Background vocals: *drifting, drifting away*) ## Chorus If you're gonna leave, then leave tonight Don't drag it out, don't dim this light 'Cause when you go, I won't hold on Like shadows fade at morning's dawn (Background vocals: *fade away, fade away*) ## Verse 2 Planted roots too deep in shifting sand Built our castle on unstable land Watch the tide wash our footprints clean Like we were never meant to be Now the wind tears through my mind Leaving nothing left behind (Background vocals: *never meant, never meant to be*) [Chorus repeats] ## Verse 3 But if your heart beats true like mine If flowers bloom in winter time Then let this fire burn so bright Our love could light the darkest night And every hour calls your name Like a prayer through wind and rain (Background vocals: *light the night, light the night*) ## Outro And if you stay (if you stay) Every single day (every day) This flame will never fade (never fade) In my arms you'll stay (you'll stay) (Background vocals build in layers: *stay with me, stay with me, stay*) Oh baby stay Yeah baby please please stay please please stay
