Standing In The Way/ Wish I Could Stay Lyrics
GILES
your not ready for the world outside
you keep pretending, but you just can't hide
i know i said that i'd be standing by your side
but i...
your path's unbeatten and it's all up hill
and you can meet it, but you never will
and i'm the reason that you're standing still
but i...
i wish i could say the right words to lead you through this land
wish i could play the father and take you by the hand
wish i could stay, but now i understand
i am standing in the way
the cries around you you don't hear at all
cuz you know i'm here to take that call
so you just lie there when you should be standing tall
but i...
i wish i could lay your arms down and let you rest at last
wish i could slay your demons, but now that time has passed
wish i could stay, your stalwart standing fast
but i am standing in the way
i'm just standing in the way
TARA
i'm under your spell
God how can this be? playing with my memory
you know i've been through hell
Willow don't you see, there'll be nothing left of me
you made me believe
GILES
believe me i don't want to go
GILES AND TARA (TOGETHER)

and it'll grieve me 'cause i love you so
but we both know...
GILES
wish i could say the right words to lead you through this land
AND TARA (SAME TIME)
wish i could trust that it was just this once but i must do what i must
GILES
wish i could play the father and take you by the hand
AND TARA (SAME TIME)
i can't adjust to this disgust we're done
GILES AND TARA (TOGETHER)
and i just wish i could stay (x4)
