Lay Me Down versuri

Lay Me Down lyrics by Guy Fletcher Songwriter

I met a girl of some refinement
When I was close on twenty-one
Her hair was long and shining
And the colour of the sun

She had a generous disposition
And so graceful when she walked
We were silent together
But from time to time, we’d talk

And she would ask about my travels
And who I’d met along the way
She’d tell me that she loved me
And wanted me to stay

Lay me down, lay me down
Should I wait awhile and rest?
Easy living with my head upon your breast
Lay me down, lay me down
You’re so good to be around, yeah
Yes, I’ll think I’ll lay me down

And though her words were so persuasive
The time had come for moving on
I found it hard to settle down
Since the day that I was born

With one more fond farewell behind me
I travelled where the highway led
I was singing for a bite to eat
And a place to lay my head (come on, baby)

And then a woman of distinction came
And she was moved to say
I like the way you hold your head
And the music that you play

Lay me down, lay me down (Lay me down, lay me down)
Should I wait awhile and rest, yeah? (please)
Easy living with my head upon your breast (ooh, baby)
Lay me down, lay me down (Lay me down, lay me down)
You’re so good to be around, yeah
Yes, I’ll think I’ll lay me down

I catch myself from time to time
And I question where it ends
But I put such thoughts behind me, past
And keep on making friends

Lay me down, lay me down (Lay me down, lay me down)
Should I wait awhile and rest, yeah? (please)
Easy living with my head upon your breast (yeah, baby)
Lay me down, lay me down (Lay me down, lay me down)
Oh, you’re so good to be around, yeah
Yes, I’ll think I’ll lay me down (Come)

(Yes, I’ll think I’ll lay me down)
I’m gonna lay me down, lay me down (Lay me down, lay me down)
Oh, you’re so good to be around
Easy living with my head upon your breast (come on, baby)
Lay me down, lay me down (Lay me down, lay me down)
You’re so good to be around
