Stay and help me to end the day.
And of you don’t mind,
We’ll break a bottle of wine.
Stick around and maybe we’ll put one down,
Because I wanna find what lies behind those eyes.
Midnight blue burning gold.
A yellow moon is growing cold.
I rise, looking through my morning eyes,
Surprised to find you by my side.
Rack my brain to try to remember your name
To find the words to tell you goodbye.
Morning dues.
Newborn day.
Midnight blue turn to gray.
Midnight blue burning gold.
A yellow moon is growing cold.

Elements of the lyrics to Stay are both direct in meaning and also metaphorical with the real meanings of the song only known by Pink Floyd and any collaborating writers working on the lyrics for Stay back when it was created.

Some people have an interest in the etymology behind words and phrases. You can take apart the lyrics to Stay by Pink Floyd in a number of ways. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Stay" means the words set to the music of Stay, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by Pink Floyd. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics. Hence, by this analysis of word structure, you could say that the lyric to Stay and the lyrics to Stay are both one and the same thing. None of this talk about the word Lyrics is really relevant to fans of Pink Floyd who came here looking just for the lyrics to Stay, but we feel it is still fun to learn what's behind commonly used words and lyrics in songs.
