Lyrics

LAY DOWN

Written by: CJ SMITH

THERE'S A RESTLESS HEART OUT RIDING
AND IT'S LOOKInG FOR A PLAce to stay
heading down the highway
through the desolation of another day

small towns, small minds,
and a pain that burns like fire in my brain
the memory of YOUR last words,
and the thought that we may never meet again

AND she said... lay down, lay down
lay down... lay on down.

THERE'S A PICTURE IN MY POCKET
THAT WAS TAKEN ON THE NIGHT BEFORE YOU LEFT
YOU WERE LAUGHING IN THE KITCHEN
I WAS UPSTAIRS IN A ROOM WITH SOMEONE ELSE

small minds, SMALL MERCIES
BUT THE DEVIL BROUGHT TEMPTATION TO MY DOOR
AND the memory of THAT MOMENT
WAS THE MEMORY OF ONE HUNDRED TIMES BEFORE

AND she said... lay down, lay down
lay down... lay on down.

SO I'M STANDING IN THE DOORWAY
SAYING BABY CAN I COME IN FROM THE COLD
BUT THE FIRE IN HER EYES
STILL BURNT AS BRIGHTLY AS THE LIES THAT I HAD TOLD

small HOPES, SMALL DREAMS
AND A NIGHT IS JUST A NIGHT AND NOTHING MORE
WITH THE TV IN THE BACKGROUND PLAYING 'HERE COMES THE SUN'
SHE TOOK ME BY THE HAND AND CLOSED THE DOOR

AND she said... lay down, lay down
lay down... lay on down.

lay down, lay down
lay down... lay on down.
