Why Don’t You Stay for Tonight Lyrics by Lazy Afternoon

Just as Poor as Before

2022

[Chorus]
Why don't you stay for tonight?
Why don't you rest from the fight?
And wake up fresh at the dawning
[Verse 1]
The sky is dark, and the time is late
The rain is falling heavy
Then on a road a horse is heard
A stranger came riding there
His cloths in rags and he's covered with mud
His eyes are filled with terror
[Chorus]
Why don't you stay for tonight?
Sleep until the morning
Why don't you stay for tonight?
Why don't you rest from the fight?
And wake up fresh at the dawning
[Verse 2]
The tavern’s filled and the tension is high
You hear a nervous talk
When he comes in, their motions freeze
The silence crashes all way down
He meet their gaze with empty eyes
And drains his tankard slowly
[Chorus]
Why don't you stay for tonight?
Why don't you rest from the fight?
And wake up fresh at the dawning
[Verse 3]
He put down the jar and turns his head
No one dares to answer his gaze
He walks across the room and leaves
The murmur rises slowly
[Chorus]
Why don't you stay for tonight?
Why don't you rest from the fight?
And wake up fresh at the dawning
Why don't you stay for tonight?
Why don't you rest from the fight?
And wake up fresh at the dawning
