Whatever You Say, Dear

Tell me it's okay
That someday you wont runaway

Let me hear you say
That you'll stay
'Cos I can't handle
Another big mistake

Tell me the story
Of how you found yourself

Some distant memory
Or maybe by hourglass

I need to hear you
Speaking to me

Maybe I'll know you
Or I'll fly away

You won't know
If I'm dead or asleep

Can you tell?
I'm only here to weep

Don't you know?
I'm only yours to keep

Yet I'll be waitin'
By the fire side

Don't wake the bears
That are sleeping

Even though they don't have eyes
Or ears

I'm here for the taking
But you're to far off

Don't forget me, please
When I'm dead and gone.
