lyrics

BABY, DON’T SAY
Nathan McDonald. © 2008 Littlebeck Records.

Baby don’t say you’ll sleep another hour
Your dreams aren’t as sweet as drinking in the day
Follow me out to the street around the corner
You’ve been a fool to let your love delay

Come on, I won’t let you go
Even when trouble is pulling you under
Walk on, let out your song
The melody will lead you along

Baby your eyes carry weight like a barrow
Empty the load before the day is through
Swallow me in, soak your bones to the marrow
You will begin as I begin in you

Come on, I won’t let you go…

We’ll flower up out from the seed
Starving our wants, feeding our needs
Our stories won’t ever end
Laughing through trouble like elderly friends
Baby, I’m under your skin
