Lay me Down

Lay Me Down

I'll never walk away from this

Or pull you closely to my chest.

With a father's breaking heart,

I'll walk you one last time into the dark

There are no reasons to explain

A silent killer bears no blame.

There are no answers though i pray

I die, though this is not my grave

And i lay you down, lay you down

I'll carry you child

to a place where you can rest

sweet tears they're slippin to the limits

as i push you down the bed

It tears me into pieces watching you

fight to fill your lungs with breath.

There's no need to struggle,

there's no need to struggle

I'll lay you down, lay you down

Don't you cry no more

I'll lay me down, lay me down

Well i'm not ready, I'm not ready for this

Well i'm not ready, i'm not ready for this

There are no branches from this soil

My broken spirits steals my voice

I have no secrets to my name

Only the shadows hide my shame

And so i lift you upon my shoulder

Inside a splinter wooden chest

To have along we line the streets

my only hope that you'll finally rest

I'm not ready for this.

I lay you down,lay you down.

Don't you cry no more

I lay me down, lay me down

I'd gladly lay me down, lay me down.
