As I Lay Dying Songtext
von Dappled Cities

A thought dropped into my head
As I lay dying
This thought could have gone but lived instead
Given my attention
Take a detail
And see how thoughts pressed
And how they turned
Grown and turned again
To planted seeds
Memories, loving and lost

Lost so they grow

Here comes the sun
Here it comes
It′s a wake for everyone


Taking a chance
If not paint
For a while it came at a cross
It came at a pace
Not like us to hesitate
Settled in a natural rhyme
Upon the line of the family tree
So close to touch
So very near
Here for all

My leaves were falling
I'm not saying
I′m not saying
I'm not saying
That it's over
Overstepped the line

All my leaves were falling
As I lay dying
All my leaves were falling
As I lay dying
All my leaves were falling, falling
As I lay dying

Give us the man
Who wrote the words
"We′re all made like machines, we′re all made like machines"
And I'll show him the seed
Plough him the seed
Planted in deep
We′re not made like machines
