lay me down
In this dark corner there is light There is light Understanding what lies beyond Is not to be afraid But to look forward to Another life Full of light and colour Happy at last Nothing left to hide away Nothing left to shield me Fallen words on ocean clay No shout will ever reach me Nothing but the vacant eyes Rising up above me Body torn spirit whole No knife can ever reach me Lay me down Cover me now While the nightingale sleeps Under my feet Lay me down Cover me now While the white water flows Over me Run across the hidden joy Deliver me from evil Rushing words in silent zones Here are my people I am the child born again Where beauty stands and waits I am the child who loves and plays I am the angel who waits Lay me down Cover me now While the nightingale sleeps Under my feet Lay me down Cover me now While 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
