Lay Me Down

I will write you letters that

Explain the way I'm thinking now

I, I will return to you

What I have taken long before

I, I will return again

When it gets dark and day is done



And lay me down

In the hallowed ground

Down by your side I will stay

So lay me down



And if you wanna stay with me

Then let me know before it's light

I, I will recoil myself

Into the black and darkest night



And lay me down

In the hallowed ground

Where my father waits I will stay

So lay me down



And lay me down

In the hallowed ground

Down by your side I will stay

So lay me down
