Stay with me, oh sweet clarity
Certainty like lightning
Companionship a rarity
Oh stay with me, my clarity
Of an evening so far afield
A firefly he guided
In deepest dark he made our way
Then on my arm alighted
Stay with me, oh sweet clarity
Certainty like lightning
Companionship a rarity
Oh stay with me, my clarity
The light on the wall from the dormer through the shade
Was slatted, agitated
It drew him to and he could see his grave
And all the streetlamps faded
The last one ended candidly: He said
"In love you don't fear dying"
And she said, "It's only that I loved you so
I know you to be lying"
In the hedges we heard a sound
A black-eyed dog to haunt you
But the worst of that's over now
We can go where we want to
So stay with me my clarity
Certainty like lightning
Companionship such a rarity
Oh stay with me, my clarity
