Lay Me Down Lyrics

Once upon a world below

You lay me down in the winter snow

Never thinking I'd wake up someday

And you'd lay me down again

Wait for me, I say to shapes out in the wind

I'll wait for you to come and peel away my sin

Stay with me here and press your words into my skin

Before you lay me down again

Oh lay me down again

Once upon some other time

I closed my fists and lost my eyes

Never thinking it could stay this way

But you laid me down again

This hallowed ground again

Wait for me, I say to shapes out in the wind

I'll wait for you to come and peel away my sin

Stay with me here and press your words into my skin

Before you lay me down again

Oh lay me down again

Watched as stars burst through the weeds

Saw the roots sprouting up from my feet

Let me float, shining through cosmic seas

Till I am the one out of reach

You buried me, but you couldn't stay

After you left, here I still lay

But darling, I would count the days

Holding on to hope and for you I'll wait

Wait for me, hmmm

I'll wait for you, ooh

And from up here I feel your warmth upon my skin

Saying "lay me down" again

Where I lie with you again
