Keeping Me At Bay

"Keeping Me At Bay"

Music & Lyrics by Scott Cooley.

You can’t make up your mind about my kind

You get scared when I get too near

You turn your love light on so I can see it at night

Because it turns you on to feel the fear

You’re keepin’ me at bay, a safe distance from your shore

I’m a sailor tried and true, and you know I’ll be back for more

You’re keepin’ me at bay, I’m not so dangerous from far away

But it’s danger you desire, like a burnin’ fire

And I’m the one to put out the flame

You crave my attention, but it’s beyond my comprehension

Why you invite me in, but then don’t want me to stay

Afraid of what you might do, if you finally cut loose

You don’t like it when I sail too far away

You’re keepin’ me at bay, a safe distance from your shore

I’m a sailor tried and true, and you know I’ll be back for more

You’re keepin’ me at bay, I’m not so dangerous from far away

But it’s danger you desire, like a burnin’ fire

And I’m the one to put out the flame

You’re keepin’ me at bay, a safe distance from your shore

I’m a sailor tried and true, and you know I’ll be back for more

You’re keepin’ me at bay, I’m not so dangerous from far away

But it’s danger you desire, like a burnin’ fire

And I’m the one to put out the flame
