Lay You Down Lyrics - Nikki Lane

I hear him callin' 

Say he's gonna leave 

He's gonna ride on the settin' sun 

He ain't scared to go there 

He's traveled before 

But tonight's gonna be his very last one 

And it's crazy all around 

Rustlin' in and rustlin' out 

The stereo's playin', we're just passing time 

And there ain't much left to say here, cause when it all comes down 

We've left it all up to the toss of the dime 

Who's gonna lay you down tonight? 

Tears falling like pouring rain 

And hold your hand while you wash away 

Who's gonna lay you down tonight? 

Put aside the fear and the pain 

And hold your hand while you die 

She stands in the doorway 

She's got her head held high 

She knows his time on earth is done 

And that sparkle in his eye 

As the sun falls from the sky 

He says, my love you are the only one 

I heard the news 

They laid him in a black suit with flowers all around 

The town is filled with strangers that love him still 

They've come to see his burial ground 

I say, who's gonna lay you down? 

Who who who 

Who who who 

Whooooooooo 

Who's gonna lay you down tonight? 

Tears falling like pouring rain 

And hold your hand while you wash away 

Who's gonna lay you down tonight? 

Put aside the fear and the pain 

And hold your hand while you die 

I say, who's gonna lay you down? 

Who's gonna lay you down?
