Hawksley Workman Stop Joking Around Lyrics

Stop Joking Around Lyrics

stop joking around
for one minute
i'd rather cry right now

and play
the sad notes on
the piano
let the rest of the band go home

cos
i'll need you 
until the morning
please be here
until the
morning
hold my hand
until the morning
brings the light of day 
to
our eyes

and smell the burning leaves
in autumn driveways
we'll be
out on the road
'til way past supper

and leave the lamp light
low
beside the window
if you can mop up a waterfall

cos i'll need
you 
until the morning
please be here
until the morning
hold my
hand
until the morning
brings the light of day 
to our
eyes

just hop a train
you hate to fly
come see the picture of my
eyes

you want to laugh
i want to cry
cry cry cry

please be
here
until the morning
hold my hand
until the morning
chase my
fate
into your promised land
please be here
eye-e-eye-e-eye-e-eyes
