baby, lay me down
 let me take off your crown
 
 this day's for love
 this night's no harm
 fence the world out
 with your tender arms
 
 
 baby, where you go
 there's no real home
 
 we used to live in the rainbow
 the sweet old times
 now we are afraid of tomorrow
 the strange sunlight
 
 
 please stay for a little while
 just for this lonely child
 
 someone says he's bad
 but you know he's sad
 he will sing you a song
 it won't be too long
 
 
 baby, lay me down
 let me take off your crown
 
 this day's for love
 this night's no harm
 fence the world out, darling
 with your tender arms
 
 
 we may steal some delight
 before morning bright
 
 enclose me in your bosom
 where i can piece up my soul
 let me sing you a song
 it won't be long
