Jacob is calling
The wind sang his name
Mother earth
Made sure it would rain
Cause baby is turning
His heart couldn't stay
Like those old playingcards
he shuffled his ways.
Why could'nt he stay
Of all the things I dare to be, I'll be your crusader
Why couldn't he stay
Of all the things you need to be, will you be my baby to stay
And Lucy was crying
Her heart was stuck
with all the pain there is
since baby took off
Winter came passing
Turned into spring
Lucy still crying too much
started to sing
Why couldn't you stay….
And all was still the same
when fall drops its rains
Lucy still stared above trying to gain
Some words from her baby
Still gone and asleep
All that all was left to do
for her is to weep
Stay
Stay
Why could'nt he stay
Of all the things I dare to be, I'll be your crusader
Why couldn't he stay
Of all the things you need to be, will you be my baby to stay.
