I Lay Down

(album: The Lost Tapes - 2022)

I wanna stay, I wanna go 'round again
Already been here many times before
And I wanna play, please let me stay, power's a game
Don't wanna bend fear, it defies the law
And I want a place where I can go now and again
Already been here too many times before
And I'm gonna pay, please let me stay, power's the shame
Gotta hold and mend it, it decries the fault

When I lay down you can bet
I have found where I wanna be
And all around where I tread
Are all the sounds that I found full of love for me

This backward of ways, bad for the place, powers the flame
Don't wanna waste tears, they are tiresome bore
And I got a face that I could show now and again
You 'ready seen far too many times for sure
Now I got a space that I can lay low now and again
Already laid there too many times, oh Lord
And I got a place, follow the race, power's the blame
Gotta hold and mend it, it defies the law

When I lay down you can bet
I have found where I wanna be
And all around where I tread
Are all the sounds that I found full of love for me
It's so profound and you can bet
That I have found where I wanna be
And all the love in every breath
All around, in my back, right in front of me

Too much, too many, too little time
No search, no bad pennies, no crime
I wanna play, please let me stay, power's a game
Don't wanna bend fear, it defies the law
(When I lay down)

When I lay down you can bet
I have found where I wanna be
And all around where I tread
Are all the sounds that I found full of love for me
It's so profound and you can bet
That I have found where I wanna be
And all the love in every breath
All around, in my back, right in front of me

When I lay down you can bet
I have found where I wanna be
And all around where I tread
Are all the sounds that I found full of love for me
It's so profound and you can bet
That I have found where I wanna be
And all the love in every breath
All around, in my back, right in front of me
