Don’t tell me to stop
|
Tell the rain not to drop,
|
Tell the wind not to blow
|
Cause you said so;
|
Tell me love isn’t true
|
It’s just something we do,
|
Tell me everything I’m not
|
But don’t tell me to stop
|
|
Tell the sun not to shine
|
Not to get up this time,
|
Let it fall by the way,
|
Leave me where I lay;
|
Tell the leaves not to turn
|
But don’t tell me I’ll learn,
|
Take the black off a crow
|
But don’t tell me to go
|
|
Tell the bed not to lay
|
Like the mouth of a grave,
|
Not to stare up at me
|
Like a calf on its knees;
|
Tell me love isn’t true
|
It’s just something we do,
|
Tell me everything I’m not
|
But don’t tell me to stop
|

Stop
