about

Written in 2000 while I was at Purchase College.

lyrics

The fields have been around
A long time they’ve been around
A thousand years pass like a flash
And still they’re here

The things we call old
A long time we’ve been told
May as well have happened just now
But we are here

Looked over and noticed
You were there sewing
Stay!

Measured any way
I’ll take the shortest day
And give it to you all alone
It’s time for May

It’s all that I said
Where any head was lead
Digging up fossils at night
The furthest time

Looked over and noticed
You were still there sewing
Stay!

I’ll think of a reason just to stay with you forever
Stay with me forever

Stay!
