Continental Drift

Lyrics

[Chorus: Schoeck] Don't leave me, my darling Don't leave me, my light A big bang corralled us and put us here side by side [Post-Chorus: Schoeck] Don't leave me, my angel Ignore the cracks in the ground You can't float away with both of my arms around [Verse 1: Schoeck] 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 [Verse 2: Schoeck & Meyer] 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 romancе is severing you from me Don't lеave 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 [Verse 3: Schoeck & Meyer] 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 [Chorus: Schoeck] Don't leave me, my darling Don't leave me, my friend The let's-get-to-know is easier than regret [Verse 4: Schoeck & Meyer] 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 [Verse 5: Schoeck & Meyer] 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 [Outro: Schoeck] Darling, please stay Don't drift away Stay here beside me
