back to stay

Singer: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

and though 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 girlie

don't cry for me

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

and girlie

don't cry for me

and though i've been away so many lonely nights

you know i'm back today

i'm back to stay in your arms

and though 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
