Stay a While
This unplugged live ballad fuses 70s rock, folk, and blues textures. Multiple acoustic guitars intertwine with arpeggiated lines, enriched by soulful Hammond organ. Deep baritone vocals lead, supported by lush reverb and swelling choir harmonies, creating a stirring, immersive atmosphere.

Lyrics
intro solo hammond organ
Verse 1
The radio’s playing low in the room
An old familiar, half-forgotten tune
The daylight fades on the wooden floor
And I watch you quietly by the door
You say the road is calling your name
There’s something bigger than staying the same
I learned to walk a little slow
But I see you’re ready to go
break instrumental
Chorus
Stay a while, stay right here
Time moves faster than we fear
Go if you must, don’t be afraid
Just remember what we made
Stay a while…
Then go
solo instrumental
Verse 2
I let some trains roll out of sight
Thinking I was doing right
Dreams can wait, then fall asleep
They grow quiet, they grow deep
I don’t want to be that gentle chain
That says “someday” instead of “try again”
If my voice is shaking when I speak
It’s just love making me weak
break instrumental
Chorus
Stay a while, stay right here
Time moves faster than we fear
Go if you must, don’t be afraid
Just remember what we made
Stay a while…
Then go
solo instrumental
Bridge
When the night feels cold and long
And you’re not sure where you belong
Close your eyes, listen close
I’ll be there, like the ghost of home
Final Chorus (softer, opening up)
Stay a while, look at me
I’m letting go, can’t you see
Go if you must, live your truth
That’s the only thing I learned from youth
Stay a while…
Then go
Fade out
