lyrics

The grass is turning yellow
The sumac's berry red
Geese ride the wind in arrows
and the ground is cold and wet

These chilly rains of autumn.
they always turn to sleet
It's time to build a fire
Don't go just stay with me

Don't go just stay with me
The cold is creeping in
You can stay all winter
and we both could use a friend

Don't go just stay with me
at least through through winter storms
It's cold and gray outside
We can keep each other warm

That old pear tree in the back yard
looks sad without its leaves
It's getting dark so early
and the wind is sounding mean

You don't have to say you love me
I won't ask you to pretend
And I know that you'd be with her
except that she's with him

Don't go, just stay with me
The cold is creeping in
You can stay all winter
and we both could use a friend
Don't go just stay with me
at least through winter storms
It's cold and gray outside
We can keep each other warm

Don't go just stay with me
Don't go just stay with me
