[Verse 1]
I know that you're ready to go
But stay a while and fake a smile
I know that you're ready to go
'Cause there you lay and stare away
Out the window, the houses through the groves
And to the mountains down the road
I will follow in your footsteps
When I walk away the sadness in the snow

[Chorus]
Don't go
I need you to be waiting for me
Every time I'm home
Don't go
I'll be right beside you when you rest your broken bones
Don't go

[Verse 2]
I know that you're ready to go
The sky above, the soaring dove
I don't think I'm ready to grow
Here alone, you are the stone
That holds me in position
With your calm and steady wisdom
Don't you walk away
I will be there in the morning
At the sunrise if you promise to be strong
[Chorus]
Don't go
I need you to be waiting for me
Every time I'm home
Don't go
I'll be right beside you when you rest your broken bones

[Bridge]
How could I slow down time
As the waters climb?
Had your hand in mine
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
How can I know new life
As the waters rise?
I'll just close my eyes
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

[Chorus]
Don't go
I need you to be waiting for me
Every time I'm home
Don't go
I'll be right beside you when you rest your broken bones

[Outro]
Don't go
I need you to be waiting for me
Every time I'm home
Don't go
I'll be right beside you when you rest your broken bones
