Danny Fishman - Honey Won't You Stay Lyrics

High and dry
A kite in the desert sky
So long to hollow lullabies and half-baked dreams
You'll run like the Nile to the open untamed sea
And now I'm just as I used to be

Twisted alone
And you act like you didn't know
I left just enough to make it through the night

Oh, but you, you took it and ran
Now don't you look so grand, runnin'
Through the reds of my traffic lights

So you can take the back roads
So long as you know

I don't need to see your tracks to know you're leavin'
The sun has set and the leaves fell with the season
I don't need to see your ticket to know that it wasn't just one way
So honey won't you, honey won't you stay

Hurricane, swept in, blown away
Now all my chalk thoughts are spinning in the drain
Like a radar in the rain, now I'm overloaded and frayed, and baby
I thought you heard me say it

I said, August storm
Just a ghost of the summer's warmth
Take this
White rose and turn it into dust

I said, blind men could see
That darlin' what you do to me
It ain't right and there ain't no way that it's fair

So you can take your sweet time
Cause in the meantime

I don't need to see your tracks to know you're leavin'
The sun has set and the leaves fell with the season
I don't need to see your ticket to know that it wasn't just one way
So honey won't you, honey won't you...

Stay
Oh won't you
Stay

High and dry
A rain cloud in disguise
You're a black cat on the last of all your nine lives, but
Soon I'll be gone and just like you it won't take long
Now the ashes of tomorrow sing your sad song
So

Now wherever you go
I hope that you know

I don't need to see your tracks to know you're leavin'
The sun has set and the leaves fell with the season
I don't need to see your ticket to know that it wasn't just one way
So honey won't you... I said Honey won't you?

I don't need to see your tracks to know you're leavin'
The sun has set and the leaves fell with the season
I don't need to see your ticket to know that it wasn't just one way
So honey won't you
I said honey won't you?
Honey won't you, honey won't you stay
