Lay Me Down Lyrics - Donna Lewis

In this dark corner there is light 

Understanding what lies beyond is not to be afraid 

But to look forward to another life 

Full of light and color, happy at last 

Nothing left to hide away 

Nothing left to shield me 

Fallen words on ocean clay 

No shout will ever reach me 

Nothing but the vacant eyes 

Rising up above me 

Body torn, spirit whole 

No knife can ever reach me 

Lay me down, cover me now 

While the nightingales sleep under my feet 

Lay me down, cover me now 

While the white water flows over me 

Run across the hidden joy 

Deliver me from evil 

Rushing words in silent zones 

Here are my people 

I am the child born again 

Where beauty stands and waits 

I am the child who loves and plays 

I am the angel who waits 

Lay me down, cover me now 

While the nightingales sleep under my feet 

Lay me down, cover me now 

While the white water flows over me 

And I will lie here with my unfinished words 

Lay me down to rest 

Lay me where the nightingales sleep 

Down, cover me now 

While the nightingales sleep under my feet 

Lay me down, cover me now 

While the white water flows over me 

Lay me down, cover me now 

Lay me down to rest 

Lay me where the nightingales sleep 

Lay me down, cover me now 

Lay me down to rest 

Lay me where the nightingales sleep 

Lay me down, cover me now 

Lay me down to rest 

Lay me where the nightingales sleep 

Lay me down to rest 

Lay me down to rest 

Lay me where the nightingales sleep 

Lay me down to rest 

Lay me down to rest 

Lay me where the nightingales sleep 

Lay me down to rest 

Lay me down to rest 

Lay me where the nightingales sleep 

Lay me down to rest 

Lay me down to rest 

Lay me where the nightingales sleep 

Lay me down to rest 

Lay me down to rest 

Lay me where the nightingales sleep
