Lay Me Down
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
An empty street, a quiet smile
Without steady feet
You know the reckless kind
Keep coming, coming back
To the same old place
With that wild eyed stare
Up in your face
Lay me down, let me down
In a big old town
Lay me down, let me down
In a big old town
He must have lost his soul
When he found the rent
He wrestles with control
Still hasn't pinned it yet
Once in, once in a while
Loose that cigarette
There's always some strange smile
Underneath his breath
Lay me down, let me down (Lay me down)
In a big old town (Lay me down)
Lay me down, let me down (Lay me down)
In a big old town
Passion's fist against a wall
The crush of a kiss
The rise and fall
Take me there, take me there
To that wounded sound
It's just love's despair
Gone and hit the ground
Lay me down, let me down (Lay me down)
In a big old town (Lay me down)
Lay me down, let me down (Lay me down)
In a big old town
Lay me down, let me down
Lay me down
