Lady Day - The Felice Brothers

Even if I’m sick in bed with a towel around my head

Even if I’m feeling blue and crying is all I do

I know she’ll be there beside of me

Lady Day, please won’t you stay, my Lady Day

Even if the sea does rise and there’s waves up to the skies

And the evening bells won’t ring no matter how you pull the thing

I know she’ll find some way to soothe my mind

Lady Day, please won’t you stay, my Lady Day

Even if the nightbird sings some foul and tempered thing

And it wakes me from a dream of booze and nicotine

I know she’ll be there beside of me

Lady Day, please won’t you stay, my Lady Day

Even if the world turns white and the night turns into night

And there’s rebels on the beach exchanging weapons each to each

I know she’ll find some way to soothe my mind

Lady Day, please won’t you stay, my Lady Day

Even if I get sick as hell and I never do get well

And at last my heart does fail and to some golden city sail

I won’t much care to love no angel there

Lady Day, please won’t you stay, my Lady Day
