Il testo della Stayin' song

(s. silverstein)

I stopped 'cause there was nothing else to do
And i thought i'd stick around for just a while
But i warned you like the west wind, i was only blowin' through
And no one could ever make me change my style

'cause i never sung no stayin' song before
I've done them blues and good-bye tunes a thousand times or more
And it seems a little strange that i ain't headin' for the door
But i never sung no stayin' song, i never thought i'd stay this long, i never sung no stayin' song before

I usually leave when all the words are said
But with you there's always more sweet things to say
And when my mind starts a wanderin'up that windin' road ahead
My feet don't seem to want to walk away

And i never sung no stayin' song before
I've done them blues and good-bye tunes a thousand times or more
And it seems a little strange that i ain't headin' for the door
But i never sung no stayin' song, i never thought i'd stay this long, i never sung no stayin' song before

Last night i heard an old freight whistle blow
As i was sleeping warmly in your bed
And it told me, boy it's time that you was packing up to go
But i smiled and shook the leaving from my head

And i never sung no stayin' song before
I've done them blues and good-bye tunes a thousand times or more
And it seems a little strange that i ain't headin' for the door
But i never sung no stayin' song, i never thought i'd stay this long, i never sung no stayin' song before

I never sung no stayin' song, i never thought i'd stay this long, i never sung no stayin' song before
(i don't think so)
I never sung no stayin' song, i never thought i'd stay this long...
