Linger, Let Me Linger
From the album Honey Moon
[INTRO]
C
[VERSE 1]
C D7
Like the thorn bush twines against the chain link fence
Dm Fm G
Like the spider spins its rings between the trees
Dm G#m G C
And the lonely sycamore bends to the breeze
[VERSE 2]
C D7
I am the puddles in the street
Dm Fm G
waiting for your falling leaves
C D7
Twine your vines around me, drop your branches in my path
Dm Fm G
Linger, let me linger
[INTERLUDE]
Fm G Fm G Fm G C
[BRIDGE]
F Fm C
Hearts drawn on a dusty window pane,
Dm G
a love note lying in the road
F Fm C
A car circling round a darkened street,
Dm G
a woman crying on the phone
[VERSE 3]
C D7
We are like the crickets in the spring,
Dm Fm G
calling out from under stones
C D7
Twine your vines around me, drop your branches in my path
Dm Fm G
Linger, let me linger
