Lay Me Down

Lay me down, won’t you lay me down

Let me rest my weary head

Pick me up, I been here on the ground

Trying to make my daily bread

Should I ask for forgiving I need it

Never asked much from living believe it

So, lay me down, come on lay me down

Let me rest my weary head

Sail away, oh let me sail away

Way across the silent sea

I wanna fly, to a land so far away

Gonna let my spirit free

Well there’s a pain and a hunger, like a warning

Like the roar of the thunder, in the morning time

Lay me down, oh just lay me down

Let me rest my weary head

Looking out my window – I been

Looking out my back door

Just wondering where I’m going

Just wondering where I been – and I say

Lay me down, oh won’t you lay me down

Let me rest my weary head

I’m looking out my window – I been

Looking out my back door

Just wondering where I’m going, yeh

Oh I’m wondering where I been – and I say

Lay me down, oh won’t you lay me down

Let me rest my weary head

Pick me up, I been here on the ground

Trying to make my daily bread

Well I don’t ask much, I guess I knew it

All the love in the world well that won’t do it

So lay me down, oh baby lay me down

Let me rest my weary head

Let me rest my weary head

Let me rest my weary head ...
