Don't Go Away
The Dancer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cold and frosty morning there's not a lot to say
About the things caught in my mind
And as the day was dawning my plane flew away
With all the things caught in my mind
I don't wanna be there when you're coming down
I don't wanna be there when you hit the ground
So don't go away, say what you say
In the time of my life 'cos I need more time
Yes I need more time just to make things right
Damn my situation and the games I have to play
With all the things caught in my mind
Damn my education I can't find the words to say
About the things caught in my mind
I don't wanna be there when you're coming down
I don't wanna be there when you hit the ground
So don't go away, say what you say
But say that you'll stay forever and a day
In the time of my life 'cos I need more time
Yes I need more time just to make things right
Me and you what's going on?
All we seem to know is how to show
The feelings that are wrong
So don't go away, say what you say
But say that you'll stay forever and a day
In the time of my life 'cos I need more time
Yes I need more time just to make things right
And don't go away, say what you say
But say that you'll stay forever and a day
In the time of my life 'cos I need more time
Yes I need more time just to make things right
Yes I need more time just to make things right
Yes I need more time just to make things right
So don't go away
(end)
