Where tears meet the river
Where the rubber meets the road
I sit contemplating on the good things I have know'd
While Romeo and Juliet pass by inside the fog
Peter turns to Jesus and says
Boy it's gonna be a slog
But Don't Leave me now
Don't Leave me now
Don't Leave me now
Don't Leave me now
I've got so much on the burner
So much I have to say
But every time that elephant is standing in the way
So I grit my teeth, I hold my peace, I put my tongue into my cheek
I close my eyes and count my sheep at the ending of the day
Don't Leave me now
Don't Leave me now
Don't Leave me now
Don't Leave me now
There was pride, there was passion
There was Bogey and Bacall
I squinted through a keyhole and I tiptoed down a hall
And I listened through a stethoscope and I heard the rushing wind
I looked inside a universe where Judas never sinned
But Don't Leave me now
Don't Leave me now
Don't Leave me now
Don't Leave me now
Whatever you do
Do I, or do I not cast a shadow on this wall
Is that the Headless Highwayman skiing down a waterfall
Oh No No No, it's just tomorrow playing for time
There's gold down in that valley and a piece of it is mine
So Don't Leave me now
Don't Leave me now
Don't Leave me now
Don't Leave me now
Don't Leave me now
