Song | When I Lay Down |
Artist | Janis Ian |
Album | Billie's Bones |
作词 : Ewing, Ian | |
They said lay down in the water | |
Even though you don't believe | |
All your sins will be forgiven | |
And your soul will be redeemed | |
So I walked into the water | |
And I fell down to my knees | |
And I took out some insurance | |
And I bought a little peace | |
But when I lay down, I lied | |
When I lay down, I lied | |
He said - darling do you love me | |
I and I said - sure I do | |
And I led him to believe me | |
As I proved that it was true | |
Well I let my body love him | |
God knows I really tried | |
And the comfort of it touched him | |
And his heart was satisfied | |
But when I lay down, I lied | |
When I lay down, I lied | |
…to make them happy | |
And I lied so they would care | |
I lied 'cause I was lonely | |
And I lied 'cause I was scared | |
I lied so some would leave me | |
And I lied so some would stay | |
I lied until I lied my life away | |
I dreamed my life was over | |
And they laid me in my grave | |
I was frightened of forever | |
And the price I'd have to pay | |
And I thought that god would hate me | |
'cause I'd lived my life in sin | |
But (I felt the truth embrace me) (he knelt down to embrace me) | |
(As heaven let me in) (And together, we walked in) | |
And when I lay down | |
I lay down and cried |
