Stay - Imelda May

Wake, eat, breathe

Wait, watch, sleep away the worry

Connect without meetin'

Missin' while seein' your face on a screen the size of my hand

Hopin' to see you again

Close the door da

Wash the food before touchin' the hands that are crackin' like they did

When you painted school railings in the rain

Keep safe, stay in

Keep goin', stay sane

Relax, read, do the things you’ve been meanin' to do

Shed the weight you’ve been meaning to lose

But not the plot, keep that!

Plant potatoes, dance with the telly

Drink the wine you were keeping for good

Loosen the clothes, tighten the purse

Yoga, piano, cookin' and nothin' worse than a whiner

So smile, and post that online too

How about not knowin' what to do for a while

Figure it out before it all goes back to a before

We couldn’t keep up with, and keep the good bits

The laughin' at ourselves

Time with the kids and dog

And neighbours leaving stuff on the step

The bloody good excuse for not paying the bills

No sweat 'bout not getting dressed

Hearin' birds again, now the traffic has been turned down

Singin' songs like you did the first time, music to my ears

That I get from me mams side, who I miss

While I wake, eat, breathe

Wait, watch and sleep away the worry
