This one's been kicking around for a few years, but wasn't quite right for a long time. It was still changing as I was recording it. A friend told me to turn up one of the guitar tracks...I did.
lyrics
DEVOTION
Do what you feel/And don't allow me to steal from you/All those things you keep/That make you real/But if you need a friend/Or you've got time you have to spend/I'll be here with you/Like I've always been/And you should know right now/That there's nothing more I need from you/Than for you to be exactly like you/And though I don't have much/I will give it all to you, my dear/If you'll just stay here/I have seen your face/And it's touched my life with grace/You took my darkness away/And put your light in its place/And though we may never know/Just how the future is to go/We can keep things right/If we take them slow/And you should know right now/That there's nothing more I need from you/Than for you to be exactly like you/And though I don't have much/I will give it all to you, my dear/If you'll just stay here.
