[Verse 1]

The sun started falling

When you woke up

My feet weren't covered

When you started getting dressed

[Chorus]

Don't leave this town, my dear

Don't leave here for the day

I'm on the ropes again

I need you as I am

Oh

Oh

[Verse 2]

The oars start sinking

When you let go

To use your hands while speaking

Saying, "Don't ever let us float"

[Chorus]

Don't leave this town, my dear

Don't leave even for the day

I'm on the ropes again

I need you as I am

Oh

[Verse 3]

I must have caught your cold

I could not sleep at all

I'm hanging on the ropes

I need you as I'm close
