El Matador

Matador sweeps the veil From the last young day of my life Malibu tides inhale Santa Ana Winds from behind Wade out into the water No more chances this year I busied myself all summer My day for swimming is here Yes it's time Seaside revelations All those dreams and visions of mine Washed up like a vacation Lost as I wasted my time Looking through my dark glasses I see smiles on the faces of friends But time keeps pushing me on now And I'll ride this wave till the end Please don't go away Stay awhile, stay awhile Please don't go away Stay awhile, stay awhile Say goodbye to the weekend And the last of the summertime sun Driving off the end of a decade So many things to be done September and the trees are restless Wind chimes blow in the dark Lying on the couch defenseless With blue clouds court and spark Please don't go away Stay awhile, stay awhile Please don't go away Stay awhile, stay awhile Please don't go away Stay awhile, stay awhile Please don't go away Stay awhile, stay awhile --- El Matador - Semisonic
