Lyrics for Lay down
I was hoping I was a child But perhaps I am a guide Writing to set you free A guardian of the in-between Lay down Down in the deep where your love comes from Lay down Down in the deep where it feels like all is gone I remember in your chair By the bed in palliative care You had bled through your jeans A weeping wound, living and dying I just want you to lay down Down in the deep where your love comes from Lay down Down in the deep until you feel like all is gone In that moment 1995 You were the daughter And tonight When I looked up from my notebook There was a scythe in my hand Lay down Down in the deep where your love comes from Lay down Down in the deep until you feel like all is gone
