back to stay

John Martyn

Although I've been away so many lonely nights
You know I'm back today, I'm back to stay in your arms
Although I've been around and lived the life I said I loved
You know without you honey, all I do is worth nothing

And girlie, don't cry for me

Although there might be other people in my life
Honey, on my mind, you will always find there's only you
And though you say you'll journey to some foreign land
I'll remember you, yes, and I'll be true to your memory

And when at last you do come wandering home to me
I might look at you but it will be through the weeks between
And when I hold you it might not be you I have
In the passing days, we might both have changed to something new
