REMAIN (I still want you)

Remain, remain
I still want you to remain (Hey!)
Remain, remain
Leaving’s such a losing game (Hey!)
Remain, remain
Can’t you see you’ll come to harm?
Don’t tell me that it’s over
Won’t you stay here in my arms?

We’ve been together 40 years
Through goodwill and intent
Before you were an island
And I a continent
It took a war to make us
And peace to be our goal
You tell me you are leaving
I can’t understand at all

Why do you want to be alone?
Why must you break our happy home?

Remain, remain etc.

You tell me you are tired
Of being told to do
All that we agreed
You did not think it through
Too many visitors
Were coming to our house
Taking back control
Is all you care about

Why can’t I make you feel the loss?
Have you ever heard of cheap divorce?

Remain, remain etc.
