Lay My Body Down

(album: Love Is Strange - 1990)

Woman you're the closest thing
I know, to peace on earth
You warm to what feels cold in me
And healing to what hurts.

Woman can you tell me why
I'm driven as I am
Is there something that I have
That makes you give a damn.

Be my comfort when the world
Waves me to the ground
Take me when I've lost my way
Let me know I'm found.

Be a blanket to my soul
Wrap it all around
Be a feather babe to me
And lay my body down.

Touch me with your finger tips
Give my burdens rest
Tell me not to worry so
I know that you know best.

Lady take my callused hands
And hold them in your arms
Lie against me in the dark
And show me I've come home.

Be my comfort when the world
Waves me to the ground
Take me when I've lost my way
Let me know I'm found....
