Lay You Down Songtext
von Gwyneth Herbert

Snapshot of heaven
Walled paradise
Frozen sunlight; kiss me tender, kiss me twice
Cold winter morning
Web on the ground
I ll lay you down

Holes in my stockings
Snagged in your smile
Stay forever
I would go the extra mile
Hide from the bright lights
Faraway town
I ll lay you down

I ll lay you down
I ll lay you down, little darling,
Lay you down.


Timber of Eden
Whispering lust
Railway sleeper with your blanket ivy dust
Freckles of daylight
Golden and brown
I ll lay you down

I ll lay you down
I ll lay you down, little darling,
Lay you down.

And they can t touch us here
They come and go outside
Their sad and busy lives
The time is different here
It flows against the tide
And gently takes its time

It s captivating here
We talk about it all
And try to understand
The world is softer here
The black beyond the wall
I ll take your hand


And lay you down
I ll lay you down, little darling,
I ll lay you down
I ll lay you down, little darling,
I ll lay you down
I ll lay you down, little darling,
I ll lay you down
I ll lay you down, little darling,
Lay you down.
