Lyrics
Lay Me Down
© Ross Vick Music BMI
CHORUS
Lay Me Down
When it?s all over
Lay Me Down
When we?re all through
Without a sound
Close the door
Don?t look back around
I?ll come find you
VERSE 1
It may be for once in my life
That I really know where I am going
If I get up and follow you out
I?ve got to do it of my own according
At least I?ll know the river?s flowing
The moon is glowing
What I?m trying to say is
I know I?m finally alive
CHORUS
VERSE 2
I?ve been aching for some meaning
In between sales calls and meetings
I eat the host and drink the wine
And wait for some Holy sign
But there?s something that you?re offering
That wakes me up from my coffin
CHORUS
VERSE 3
You call it love I call it salvation
Living for just one sensation
BRIDGE
You found me before it was too late
