The Lovers Key - Linger Longer

Sad enough when the sun goes down
Darkness shows me what I lack
The ones I knew and loved moved out of town
Almost sure they won't be back
The one I dream of sometimes comes around
We break the darkness as it fall
She sits and listens to my mournful sound
Until it's time for us to part

I beg her longer,
LINGER LONGER
Only when she's here
Do I feel stronger
Evert stronger
I know there's no life for me
Beyond her

And out of kindness she just stays a time
And warns me it's just for awhile
I try to keep her with romantic lines
And out of pity she just smiles
Now hand in hand we're sitting side by side
We face the shadows in my mind
I clutch her hand and then close my eyes
Just for a moment she's all mine

I whisper longer
LINGER LONGER
Only when she's here
Do I feel stronger
Evert stronger
I know there's no life for me
Beyond her

I hear the ticking and I hear the chime
The sound of time marching on
I try and keep her for a while
She never stays here very long

I beg her longer,
LINGER LONGER
Only when she's here
Do I feel stronger
Evert stronger
I know there's no life for me
Beyond her
