They let you know three years ago
Figured I'd pay a visit
Did you think you'd been forgotten?
Pile of bones wrapped in the cleanest cotton
Shutting out the ghosts around
That call out your name
Laughing in the face of fear and woe
You told me you were ready to go
You asked me to stay
Asked me to stay
Asked me to stay
You asked me to stay
Asked me to stay
Asked me to stay
I left for Chicago
You said Chicago can wait
Chicago can wait
Moon was bright
It stole the night
And followed me home
Leaving you alone in your prison
Hope was gone when the sun had risen
I'm haunted by
Those shiny eyes
That begged me for comfort
But your hands were too weak to hold
And your lips were cracking and cold
You are fading peacefully, I'm told
You asked me to stay
Asked me to stay
Asked me to stay
You asked me to stay
Asked me to stay
Asked me to stay
You asked me to stay
Asked me to stay
Asked me to stay
But I left for Chicago
And you said
Chicago can wait
Chicago can wait
