Stay... Don't ya stay away too long Don't ya stay away too long Away too long Stay... Don't ya stay away too long Don't ya stay away too long Come on back to the days (place) you remember Don't ya cry for one more day Just hear me say (I just want to say) Don't stay away too long A worm just met that apple Sitting in a tree and she said: "Oh, you're burin that hole inside of me" Then he said "I'll break that sentence right now and set you free" Then she said " Go, but come back again, don't stay away too long." Now young Jessie lost her father Round when she was three and she said: Why, my daddy, in hell did you leave me? You've left me empty and misguided With eyes too young to see I'm falling right behind ya pop Cause you stayed away too long" Only heaven knows the pain you've been hiding from I don't care, no I don't mind, I just hope you find You've stayed away much much too long Don't ya stay away too long Come on back to the days we'll remember We were young and life was kind Now I just hope you'll find You've stayed away much much too long
