Píseň: Lay Me Down

Interpret:
Chris Norman
Album:
Close Up
Lay me down, won’t you lay me down
Let me rest my weary head
Pick me up, I been here on the ground
Trying to make my daily bread


Should I ask for forgiving I need it
Never asked much from living believe it
So, lay me down, come on lay me down
Let me rest my weary head


Sail away, oh let me sail away
Way across the silent sea
I wanna fly, to a land so far away
Gonna let my spirit free


Well there’s a pain and a hunger, like a warning
Like the roar of the thunder, in the morning time
Lay me down, oh just lay me down
Let me rest my weary head


Looking out my window – I been
Looking out my back door
Just wondering where I’m going
Just wondering where I been – and I say


Lay me down, oh won’t you lay me down
Let me rest my weary head


.... ( instrumental ) ....


I’m looking out my window – I been
Looking out my back door
Just wondering where I’m going, yeh
Oh I’m wondering where I been – and I say


Lay me down, oh won’t you lay me down
Let me rest my weary head
Pick me up, I been here on the ground
Trying to make my daily bread


Well I don’t ask much, I guess I knew it
All the love in the world well that won’t do it


So lay me down, oh baby lay me down
Let me rest my weary head
Let me rest my weary head
Let me rest my weary head ...
