I am wistful, people say
guess I am, and I guess that's how I will
Stay
I'll be here biding my time,
watching the wheels, standing in line just to say
that I'm not in any rush
to act on any crush
I'll just stay

When you find the way
there is nothing left to do but
Stay
I'll be here day and night,
seeing by means of an inner light I must say
that I'm not the kind of man
who travels to different lands
here I'll stay

When the universe comes knocking at your door
better let it in
what on Earth are you waiting for?

Like a darling bud of May
I'm awful sweet and I guess that's how I will
Stay
I'll be here bouncing a ball
counting flowers on the wall I must say
that I'm not good to go
don't care much for to and fro
you can't reap what you don't sow
so I'll stay

Mellotron here is played on electric guitar with the Electro-Harmonix C9 pedal, set to Mello Flutes (the mellotron is a synthesizer, so synthesizing it means I'm playing fake fake flutes)
