Ask Me to Stay
The United Steel Workers of Montreal
Words and music by Shawn 'GUS' Beauchamp
Intro:
x2
Woke up this morning with a knot in my chest
Washed my face and hands and then I got dressed
Open the door to another new day
I'm burning inside when we got nothing to say
Walk down the street and get in my car
How many times have we gone this far
I could turn around and make the pain all go away
Just pick up that phone, please ask me to stay
Ask me to stay
Ask me to stay
Ask me to stay
Solo 1:
I can still feel your breath on the back of my neck
I can still feel your hands on my chest
Well darling I wish you could see me now
Cold and lonely, I'm nothing but down
I' so tired I'm falling in on closing lids
There ain't enough caffeine in the world to get me going
But honey it's not too late
Just turn on your light, call out my name
Call out my name
Call out my name
Call out my name
Solo 2:
x2
Baby I'm back, try to look surprised
I know you're angry but at least I never lied
Feel like I'm going backwards, can't see a damned thing
Except in the distance the light off your golden wings
Your golden wings
Your golden wings
Your golden wings
Your golden wings
Your golden wings
Your golden wings
Your golden wings
End on C
