lyrics

Lay me down
make me forget
just treat me gently in the night
I'm too drunk to leave
but too tired to fight
so lay me down
lay me down
lay me down

it's cold out there
I've got no coat
the dark is full of fear and I'm not looking for a home
just passing time
trying to get through
lay me down
lay me down
lay me down

I've got a heart as big as the sky
warm hands, a gentle touch, and open eyes
nothing else to offer, except all that I am
lay me down
lay me down
lay me down
