lyrics
Lay Me Down
It started in New Jersey baby
Felt like a mosquito bite
All swollen and itchy and longing
To scratch everything in sight
Would it be putting it mildly
To say you got under my skin
But they don't make an ointment
For the shape you leave me in
Now I'm feeling dizzy
And I'm moving kind of slow
So
Lay me down upon your bed
Night is out but the sky's still red
This lonely world is far from here
And the cure is so near
So lay me down
I'm sitting up at night
Got the radio on
And it doesn't matter what they're playing
I want you more with every song
I never fall but I’m starting to sway
Lay me down upon your bed
Night is out but the sky's still red
This lonely world is far from here
And the cure is so near
So lay me down
Lay your hands
Say the words
A greater plan
Draws us here
Lay me down upon your bed
Night is out but the sky's still red
This lonely world is far from here
And the cure is so near
So lay me down
It started in New Jersey baby
Felt like a mosquito bite
All swollen and itchy and longing
To scratch everything in sight
Would it be putting it mildly
To say you got under my skin
But they don't make an ointment
For the shape you leave me in
Now I'm feeling dizzy
And I'm moving kind of slow
So
Lay me down upon your bed
Night is out but the sky's still red
This lonely world is far from here
And the cure is so near
So lay me down
I'm sitting up at night
Got the radio on
And it doesn't matter what they're playing
I want you more with every song
I never fall but I’m starting to sway
Lay me down upon your bed
Night is out but the sky's still red
This lonely world is far from here
And the cure is so near
So lay me down
Lay your hands
Say the words
A greater plan
Draws us here
Lay me down upon your bed
Night is out but the sky's still red
This lonely world is far from here
And the cure is so near
So lay me down
