It Stays Lyrics - John Wesley Harding

Bury it in the garden 

At midnight by the moon 

Cover up the traces 

Lick and dress your wounds 

Burn it up or drown it you can try 

But what has never lived can never die 

And it doesn't go away 

It stays 

It stays 

It stays 

It stays 

I saw you standing in the kitchen 

Drinking champagne from a mug 

Should I have waited 'til you noticed me 

Was I ash upon the rug 

Sometimes you can not remove the stain 

And if you do it's absence still remains 

And it doesn't go away 

It stays 

It stays 

It stays 

It stays 

It fights another day 

It doesn't go away 

It stays 

It stays 

It stays 

It stays 

It's as simple as that 

I can't add to it 

We had our chance and we blew it 

Worse than that well we knew it 

Well we knew it 

Every day's the morning after 

Maybe last night broke the curse 

But it was only in remission 

It'll come back even worse 

In your dreams its falling far behind 

But just like daylight coming through the blinds 

It doesn't go away 

It stays 

It stays 

It stays 

It stays 

It fights another day 

It doesn't go away 

It stays 

It stays 

It stays 

It stays 

It fights another day 

Do not go away 

Stay 

Stay 

Stay 

Stay 

Do not go away 

Stay
