When you’d go away from me
I’d stay and wait for you
And when you’d sleep at night
I used to pray you still cared for me
I say I saw you dared to walk away
Though you know I knew you
Such a shame your frivolities my mind can’t erase
They deride my value
And it’ll haunt you in those quiet times when no one’s around
The silence in your sound of mind I’ll haunt you wherever you go
Was it my fault who dropped the ball when it was ready to be served
It was your turn
And now it’ll linger in the quiet of your heart
And I’ll wonder but ain’t goin’ nowhere
And I’ll whisper for all time watch it linger
That ghost is yours and mine
I’ll linger to forever
He said ‘I’ll leave her’
Though he didn’t go nowhere
Linger
Linger, linger and I’ll whisper
I ain’t goin’ nowhere
Watch it linger in the quiet of your heart
And I’ll wonder but it ain’t goin’ nowhere
