|
Lay down your head and weep mama |
|
Lay down next to me |
|
Till you cross the borders of sleep mama |
|
Lay down next to me |
|
Wish no words of sorrow |
|
Nor whisper words of spite |
|
Let the darkness in your heart |
|
Melt into this night |
|
Oh-oh Never |
|
Before, Never |
|
Before did it break like that |
|
Oh-oh Never |
|
Before, Never |
|
Before did it feel so bad |
|
Drink some more of my wine mama |
|
Take some more of my bread |
|
There's a million songs to be sung |
|
But not a word to be said |
|
If I call on the angel of mercy |
|
If I call on the angel of light |
|
I'm way outta line but there ain't much time |
|
Storm gonna break tonight |
|
Lay down your head and weep mama |
|
Lay down next to me |
|
Till you cross the borders of sleep mama |
|
Lay down next to me |
|
Send a prayer up above to the pure white dove |
|
Flying so high |
|
I think the angel of mercy |
|
Must have heard you cry |
