Stayin` Song — текст песни (Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show)

(S. Silverstein)

I stopped `cause there was nothing else to do
And I thought I`d stick around for just a while
But I warned you like the west wind, I was only blowin` through
And no one could ever make me change my style

`Cause I never sung no stayin` song before
I`ve done them blues and good-bye tunes a thousand times or more
And it seems a little strange that I ain`t headin` for the door
But I never sung no stayin` song, I never thought I`d stay this long, I never sung no stayin` song before

I usually leave when all the words are said
But with you there`s always more sweet things to say
And when my mind starts a wanderin`up that windin` road ahead
My feet don`t seem to want to walk away

And I never sung no stayin` song before
I`ve done them blues and good-bye tunes a thousand times or more
And it seems a little strange that I ain`t headin` for the door
But I never sung no stayin` song, I never thought I`d stay this long, I never sung no stayin` song before

Last night I heard an old freight whistle blow
As I was sleeping warmly in your bed
And it told me, boy it`s time that you was packing up to go
But I smiled and shook the leaving from my head

And I never sung no stayin` song before
I`ve done them blues and good-bye tunes a thousand times or more
And it seems a little strange that I ain`t headin` for the door
But I never sung no stayin` song, I never thought I`d stay this long, I never sung no stayin` song before

I never sung no stayin` song, I never thought I`d stay this long, I never sung no stayin` song before
{I don`t think so}
I never sung no stayin` song, I never thought I`d stay this long...
