Big Country - Don't You Stay Lyrics






I don’t like to ask you
But there are no choices left
Upon that fateful day
When you wore your wedding dress

Did the sun shine brightly
The clouds just drift on through
The way that clouds on wedding days should do

So don’t you stay another day
And let your heart go on its way

Does your blood run thin like water
Does he treat you like he ought to
I guess it’s time you should be on your way

With the tears upon your lips
The day you made your vow
The words rang out around the church
Do you hear them now

Did the preacher take your hand
And gently place the ring
Did the congregation stand to sing

Now don’t you stay another day
And let your heart go on its way

Does your blood run thin like water
Does he treat you like he ought to
I guess it’s time you should be on your way

We keep the darkest lies
For the sweetest smiles
We keep our best goodbyes
For the hardest miles
For the coldest night

So don’t you stay another day
And let your heart go on its way

Does your blood run thin like water
Does he treat you like he ought to
I guess it’s time you should be on your way

Don’t you stay another day
And let your heart go on its way

Does your blood run thin like water
Does he treat you like he ought to
I guess it’s time you should be on your way

    When we lost Stuart we lost a beautiful person and an amazing talent.He left us with so much great music that we can listen to for the rest of our lives.For that we are grateful.But yes walesspiritof76 I agree with your sentiment completley.

    Youre a lucky person I think to have known him, I have some sort of a connection to him and the band. They are my favorite band, I am now 42 years old. I feel every hurt he sang of, I wish things could have been different for him and he was still around....he will always be a hero to me now and forever!!!

    Slainte,
    Ross

  39. I.... A....

    Thx for posting. Brings back great memories. I was a friend of Stuart's so it is very very emotional. Keep up the good work.

  40. d.... ....

    Davec,glad to see another Big Country fan who has discovered the brilliance and beauty of Stuarts last work.The whole CD is great and Private Battlefield is my personal favorite.Rock or ballads Stuart could do it all.What a talent.He will never be forgotten.

  41. D.... C....

    The Raphaels CD is superb! It's on constantly in the car! Life is a church is my favourite!
    This is new to me!! Where's it from? I thought they ballard stuff they did was fantastic!

  42. d.... ....

    Danymailand,another excellent post on your part.Amazing how many great songs these guys created.Has anyone in Big Country land checked out Stuarts last project with the Raphaels.the cd "supernatural" is brilliant.Never met the man but I miss him.

    d.... ....

    Supernatural is brilliant! Although you may notice only around half the songs are sung by Stuart, Marcus Hummon sings the other half...

  43. i.... ....

    Io non conosco questa canzone! E molto bella come tutte le composizioni dei BIG country. E una vera felicità!!! Mille grazie Danymailand...!
