"Yearning" lyrics - THE WAR AND TREATY

Can we be lovers now?
Let go of a past that hunts us down
Can we finally be found
In each other's arms above the ground?
Can we forget the skin we're in?
And let our souls lead from within?
Can we drink from Cupid's cup?
Empty out, then let him fill us up

[Chorus:]
Oh
I'm yearning
Yearning
I'm yearning
For you to stay

Have I spoken way too soon
And scared you off from jumping the broom?
Should I sweep my thoughts underneath
The cut-up rug under our feet

[Chorus:]
Oh
I'm yearning
Yearning
I'm yearning
For you to stay, stay, stay

[Outro:]
Oh
Oh
Oh (I'm yearning for you honey)
Oh (Yeah)
Oh (Yeah, I'm yearning for you)
Oh (Baby)
