Lay Down with Me

Like a ghost in the night
Like a tree in a forest
Like a bird in slow-motion
Wauling through the sky
Like a heart in a hand
On a beach and then it dives
Like a love I never had
Lay down with me, brother
Share our bodies on the ground
I will walk and all my life
I need to set my troubles down, come on
Lay down with me, brother
We can make it through the night, yeah
It’s a long old life to get through
We all need some sweet respite, yeah
La la la la la, yeah
La la la la la, yeah
La la la la la, yeah
La la la la, yeah
La la la la la, yeah
La la la la la, yeah
La la la la la, yeah
Like a line in the snow
Like a sigh in the silence
Like a wolf’s unholy longing
Searing through the black
Like a fathomless sea
Drowning each and every sorrow
No, there ain’t no going back
There ain’t no going back
Lay down with me, brother
Share our bodies on the ground
I will walk and all my life
I need to set my troubles down, come on
Lay down with me, brother
We can make it through the night, yeah
It’s a long old life to get through
We all need some sweet respite, yeah
La la la la la, yeah
La la la la la, yeah
La la la la la, yeah
La la la la, yeah
La la la la la, yeah
La la la la la, yeah
La la la la la, yeah
Like a fathomless sea
Drowning each and every sorrow
No, there ain’t no going back
There ain’t no going back, come on
Lay down with me, brother
Share our bodies on the ground
I will walk and all my life
I need to set my troubles down, come on
Lay down with me, brother
We can make it through the night, yeah
It’s a long old life to get through
We all need some sweet respite, yeah
La la la la la, yeah
La la la la la, yeah
La la la la la, yeah
La la la la, yeah
La la la la la, yeah
La la la la la, yeah
La la la la la, yeah
