Why Won't You Stay

Will this night fulfill all the promises And bury us in peace? Will it leave us free and forgetful Or at least bring some sleep? Your eyes don't catch the little things As they narrow on your fall I'm checking your pulse 'cause you're so quiet I'm kissing you, but you don't feel it Why do you do this to me? Showing me all that I'm good for Is to watch you sleep as lifeless as an angel She was the most beautiful cloud That ever passed before the face of a girl Seems like nothing's too good for this life Some things are too good for this world And our names and our faces Well, they're just spare change In memory of a soul Kept dropping spare change Why won't you stay In memory of a little girl Who was far too much in love with the world And who didn't really want to stick around for the end?
