Lay Me Down

The Connells

Sing to me sweetley as I turn sour 
Lay me down, remembering 
That the wind and the rain 
Played a part in that dreadful hour 

And so as I pass, I too feel the power 
Laying here under the trees 
Where three days before 
I danced in a summer shower 

And she said "There, look through the trees, 
The sun always shines, always on time, 
Dare, rest on your knees 
And in a prayer, follow me there." 

Softly I slumber as I turn to powder 
Blowing out over the sea 
The wind and the rain billow me 
Though I'm no longer fire 

A bird is alone as the wind takes me higher 
Now I don't know where I am 
The bird can't hear me 
As I shout out even louder 

And she said "There, look through the trees, 
The sun always shines, always on time, 
Dare, rest on your knees 
And in a prayer, follow me there." 

La la la la... 

And she said "There, look through the trees, 
The sun always shines, always on time, 
Dare, rest on your knees 
And in a prayer, follow me there."
