Lyrics Lay Down Your Head - Audra McDonald

Lay Down Your Head

Lay down your head and sleep, sleep
I’ll be your pillow, soft and deep
Leave me your troubles, I will keep your days gone by
Your days gone by
Lay down your head and dream, dream
You’re so much gentler than you seem
Is there a chance you might redeem my days gone by?
My days gone by
And, oh, his breath is so warm
Mine is short, and my ears are ringing
Everywhere my skin is singing
Lay down your head and sleep, sleep
I will be pleased your soul to keep
Give yourself over to the deep of days gone by
Of days gone by
