lyrics

Don't leave me, my darling
Don't leave me, my light
A big bang corralled us and put us here side by side

Don't leave me, my angel
Ignore the cracks in the ground
You can't float away with both of my arms around

You won't break my heart into pieces
You won't turn my soul royal blue
But if you come here and always stay near
Then nobody else will, too

Don't leave me, my darling
You can see where a hand reached out
Look out to the sea
Stretching thousands of years to now
This tectonic romance is severing you from me
Don't leave me, my beauty
Such a beautiful ornament
Forget this earthly mess
Little token of permanence
Where sands in the east long for the sand out west

You said to be where your feet are
I hold the fossil to the light
Like you had a say at the time
See it shine
Darling, don't go, just take all your toes
And interlock them with mine

Don't leave me, my darling
Don't leave me, my friend
The let's-get-to-know is easier than regret

Don't leave me this instant
I wish I knew the tale, somehow
Give me a little more time
Just an imprint of longing now
Aeons from now, we won't see the same sunshine

You can say you'll think it over
I hold your reaching hand in mine
It's not the end of the world
Take you home
My wildest dreams, I think I believe
You'll stay here beside me

Darling, please stay
Don't drift away
Stay here beside me
