Lyr Req: Stay not late

Does anyone have the words to a song called "Stay not late" recorded by Carolyn Hester in the sixties? It appeared on an LP called "It's my song". Unfortunately we lent the album to a friend years ago and never got it back.

Thanks Joan

Haven't found the words but it looks like there is a recording available:

"Stay Not Late" written and performed by Carolyn Hester, appears on the 2-CD compilation "Dear Companion," Bear Family CD 15701, 1995.

From the sound sample at CDNOW, I was able to transcribe this much:

"Stay not late. Life is a moment fleeting.
Your shadows creep across the floor.
Stay not late if this be our last meeting.
You gain much more than you..."

Thanks to George and Jim for their replies.

It looks like I'll have to order the double CD. That's not much of a hardship but I was hoping that someone might know where I can find the lyrics on the Internet.
