Gavin Burgess Band - Stay Away

from The Mother Back To Strong Down by Gavin Burgess

about

The Mother:
Four tracks from the lost Forms Of Escape album. Originally intended as rough mixes, these are all that remained of these songs after a well intentioned computer technician "cleaned up" the hard drive on which the multi tracks resided. With the exception of I Feel Good and Darker the live tracks included on this CD are also songs originally included on this album. A further three demos from this project accompanied Some Girls Wander By Mistake on the Sasquatch Sessions EP, an early version of another song, When Alice Dances, can be heard on 1999’s Muster compilation CD, and a Demo of Hero was released on the Demos 'n' Jams album. One other song, Prophet's Lament, remains unreleased in any form.

lyrics

Girl I just wanna be there, wanna hold you again
Wanna kiss you one more time, no, wanna kiss you all night

Wanna hold your hand and walk with you by the sea
Wanna take you in the sand on that old blanket someone gave to me

But I know, I know
I just gotta stay away (ah ah)
Gotta stay away (oh oh)
Gotta stay away (yeah –eh)
‘Till the moment is come, ‘till the moment is come
Gotta stay away (Ah ah oh oh)

Wanna wake up at age ninety-five and find you growing old next to me
Wanna be with you tomorrow girl and never ever have to leave

But I know, I know
I just gotta stay away (ah ah)
Gotta stay away (oh oh)
Gotta stay away (yeah –eh)
‘Till the moment is come, ‘till the moment is come

Gotta stay away (ah ah)
Gotta stay away (oh oh)
Gotta stay away (yeah –eh)
‘Till the moment is come, ‘till the moment is come
Gotta stay away (Ah ah oh oh….)
