Mark Stevick
You come and go
You come and go and in your going stay,
And as you take your place you take your leave:
Away from me, return again I pray.
You visit me, and when you go your way
I wonder what you render by your leave:
You come and go and in your going stay.
The more I harbour you, the more you stray
From my affection which you make and leave:
Away from me, return again I pray.
I cannot bear to have you seize and play
Me as a toy which you will take or leave:
You come and go and in your going stay.
I stumble darkly in your fully day,
Am blind and cannot know you till you leave:
Away from me return again, I pray.
I suitor you too much to hear you say
That you will never leave unless you leave:
You come and go and in your going stay.
Away from me, return again I pray.
