Lyrics: Waifs & Strays (Grid Twilight Mix)

(almond)
and so they say they're leaving
while you sleep away the day
you go out every evening
collecting waifs & strays
they follow their illusions
they don't know what to do
they need a clear direction
that's why they turn to you
you're pleading
please don't leave me
don't go from me so soon
i need to be found
for i'm a stray too
on the streets of paris
on the streets of rome
they find a home
in shadows or in coffee bars
down the winding alleys
through the brightly lit arcades
no matter where they are
in & out of life they wander
little waifs & strays
they stay until you fall in love
that's when they slip away
in the dark you'll see
those sad brown eyes come shining through
your heart will melt
you felt the way theu looked at you
you find you need someone
to love your days away
just when your heart is crying out
please stay
don't go away
