Lyrics
it's been a bad day
it's been a hard week
it's been a long year
to say the least
you walk along the edge of a song
you ride the line
so hard all the time
and it's time
to lie down
it's been a while now
maybe too long
i think you're worn out
but i could be wrong
your tired head
nods toward the bed
your sleepy eyes
tell me it's time
to come lie down
come lie down with me now
come lie down
come lie down with me now
when all the people come home
and all the dogs bark
and all the lights go on
and all the cars are parked
you'll see a version of me
that's gentle and give me your hand and come
lie down
come lie down with me now
come lie down
come lie down with me now
somehow you've got wilted and brown
but before you decide to let yourself drown
come lie down
come lie down with me now
come lie down
come lie down with me now
when all the music stops
and the crowd thins
there's no more small talk
and we begin to make our way
out to the car
we make our escape
it's not very far to come
lie down
come lie down with me now
come lie down
come lie down with me now
come lie down
come lie down with me now
come lie down
come lie down with me now
it's been a bad day
it's been a hard week
it's been a long year
to say the least
