lay me down by the river
so i can hear my voice with hers
lay me down under the stars
and everything the night prefers
lay me down in the country
a campfire to warm my dreams
lay me down in the meadow
where things are just what they seem
lay me down by the girl
you’ll know her by the look in my eyes
lay us down in the sunshine
to rest as we burn across the sky
lay me, lay me down
lay me, lay me down
lay me, lay me down
