If you want me to lie on the bed.  I will.
But if you want anything else I've had
my fill.

If you want me to read your book.  Just say.
But if you me to tell all my friends,
then "nay."

If you want me to wish you well.  I can.
But to see that you live in this hell,
well man -

Just stay away.  Just stay away.  For today
I've heard the Robins sing.
Just stay away.  Just stay away.  For today
I've heard the church bells ring.

If you want me to talk until the sun rises.
I just want you to know there will
be no surprises.

If you wish me to walk out the
door with you.  It would be nothing
to even the score, it's true.

But if you want me to turn my back on
this song.  Then I must leave you alone
'coz you're wrong.

So just stay away.  Just stay away.
For today I've heard the robins sing.

I'll just go away.  I'll just go away.
Today I've heard the church bells ring.

Both the robin--and you!--sing a song worth singing from high atop the churchbells!
