lyrics

I was a pauper
You were so proper
Outside your tower
I waited for you

I called you whispered
Best keep your distance
I’m kept for princes
I can’t escape this

Say please stay
Say please stay

Atop the palace
You sway conflicted
Outside in barlight
I wish on starlight

Say please stay
Say please stay

You drift to the ledge and
look to the heavens
But I’m in the lowlands
awaiting a message
You can't make a net from
a castle and steeple
But I’ll bet my life that
I’ll always catch you
So leap for the streets and
we’ll make for the edges
We’ll slip to the rivers
and drift on forever

Till you say please stay
You say please stay
