Lay Me Down Songtext
von Donna Lewis

Nothing left to hide away
Nothing left to shield me
Fallen words on ocean clay
No shout will ever reach me
Nothing but the beacon dies
Rising up above me
Body torn spirit whole
No knife can ever reach me

Lay me down
Cover me now
Where the nightingales sleep
Under my feet
Lay me down
Cover me now
Where the white water flows
Over me


Run across the hidden joy
Deliver me from evil
Rushing words in the silent zones
Here are my people
I am the child born again
Where beauty stands and waits
I am the child who loves the place
I am the angel who waits

Lay me down
Cover me now
Where the nightingales sleep
Under my feet
Lay me down
Cover me now
Where the white water flows
Over me

And I will lie here with my unfinished words
Lay me down to rest
Lay me where the nightingales sleep

Lay me down
Cover me now
Where the nightingales sleep
Under my feet
Lay me down
Cover me now
Where the white water flows
Over me


Lay me down
Cover me now

Lay me down to rest
Lay me where the nightingales sleep
Lay me down
Cover me now

Lay me down to rest
Lay me where the nightingales sleep
Lay me down
Cover me now

Lay me down to rest
Lay me where the nightingales sleep

Lay me down to rest
Lay me down to rest
Lay me where the nightingales sleep

Lay me down to rest
Lay me down to rest
Lay me where the nightingales sleep
Lay me down to rest
Lay me down to rest
Lay me where the nightingales sleep
Lay me down to rest
Lay me down to rest
Lay me where the nightingales sleep

Lay me down to rest
Lay me down to rest
Lay me where the nightingales sleep
