Lay Down Beside Me

Come lay down here beside me
While I rest my bones
We’re a long way from home now
And from where we started to roam

Lay your arms around this eerie stillness
Breathe some light into me
Let me see your smile once more, now
Maybe that will can set me free

Draw me nearer to you now, the wind is shifting
Can you hear the Whippoorwill
The moon is hiding, and speaks in silence
Of a land beyond these hills

Wait a little longer, and hold me closer
The shadows swirling around your face
have I done all I could
is the wind all there is
did my walking leave a trace

Come lay down here beside me
While I rest my bones
We’re a long way from home now
And from where we started to roam
