Lyrics

[Verse] I dreamt your eyelashes kissed my shoulder blade On the tip that points out when beside you I lay In this little cold bed in the ironwork frame But I can't convince you to stay [Verse] Though I only just met you through a white window pane Shrouded in blinking meadows, on a feather you came 'Cross a bridge to my door, well, they're one and the same But I can't convince you to stay [Chorus] Oh, baby, I can't convince you to stay Oh, baby, no, I can't convince you to stay [Verse] I'm just trying to go uptown, I'm just trying to go up Draw a tree branch in ashes, raise your thin silver cup To the open-door guest who'll embrace at thе cuff But I can't convince you to stay [Verse] Now it's blocks of my weekdays that expand while you'rе off Give a pinch to my side-arm and say, "Kid, toughen up" But I can't give or take when I've had much too much And I can't convince you to stay [Chorus] Oh, baby, no, I can't convince you to stay Oh, baby, no, I can't convince you to stay And I And I can't convince you No, I can't convince you to stay [Bridge] And I'm wondering now, as the sun's going down Do you want me, need me, love me? And I, oh I I would never leave you, no, I would never leave you [Verse] Say, "I don't want nothin' but delight on my tongue And really, what is the difference between a couple bread crumbs?" Well, I'd follow your pattern, skipping stones you have flung But I can't convince you to stay [Verse] Finally, crystal clear dew drops ring with harmonies sung By a chorus of cheepers tremblin' like they were rung And the spiderweb tarot off the window pane hung But, baby, I can't convince you to stay [Chorus] Oh, baby, no, I can't convince you to stay Oh, baby, no, I can't convince you to stay And I And I can't convince you No, I can't convince you to stay [Chorus] Oh, baby, no, I can't convince you to stay Oh, baby, no, I can't convince you to stay And I I can't convince you No, I can't convince you to stay No, I can't convince you to stay No, baby, I can't convince you to Stay
