Stop Joking Around Lyrics - Hawksley Workman

Stop joking around 

For one minute 

I'd rather cry right now 

And play the sad notes on 

The piano 

Let the rest of the band go home 

'Cause I'll need you 

Until the morning 

Please be here 

Until the morning 

Hold my hand 

Until the morning 

Brings the light of day 

To our eyes 

And smell the burning leaves 

In autumn driveways 

We'll be out on the road 

'Til way past supper 

And leave the lamp lit low 

Beside the window 

If you can mop up a waterfall 

'Cause I'll need you 

Until the morning 

Please be here 

Until the morning 

Hold my hand 

Until the morning 

Brings the light of day 

To our eyes 

Just hop a train 

You hate to fly 

Come see the picture of my eyes 

You want to laugh 

I want to cry 

Cry cry cry 

Please be here 

Until the morning 

Hold my hand 

Until the morning 

Chase my fate 

Into your promised land 

Please be here 

Eye-e-eye-e-eye-e-eyes
