Lay Me Down |
I suppose you could lay me down to die in Illinois |
Bury me beneath the rows of corn |
Or in-between the maple trees I climbed on as a boy |
Where in the Land of Lincoln I was born |
Oh, and I recall |
We rode the combines in the fall |
And there comes a time |
For gathering the harvest after all |
So when you lay me down to die |
I’ll miss my boys, I’ll miss my girls |
Lay me down and let me say goodbye to this world |
You can lay me anywhere |
But just remember this |
When you lay me down to die |
You lay me down to live |
Well I asked a girl to marry me on a dock out on the lake |
Our babies came to life in Tennessee |
And the music of the mountains is still keeping me awake |
Yeah, but everything that rises falls asleep |
We are not alone |
We are more than flesh and bone |
What is seen will pass away |
What is not is going home |
When you lay me down to die |
I’ll miss my boys, I’ll miss my girls |
Lay me down and let me say goodbye to this world |
You can lay me anywhere |
But just remember this |
When you lay me down to die |
I’ll open up my eyes on the skies I’ve never known |
In the place where I belong |
And I’ll realize His love is just another word for Home |
I believe in the holy shores of uncreated light |
I believe there is power in the blood |
And all of the death that ever was |
If you set it next to life |
I believe it would barely fill a cup |
'Cause I believe there’s power in the blood |
When you lay me down to die |
So long, boys, so long, girls |
Lay me down and let me say goodbye to this world |
You can lay me anywhere |
But just remember this |
When you lay me down to die |
You lay me down to live |
