I will write you letters that
Explain the way I'm thinking now
I, I will return to you
What I have taken long before
I, I will return again
When it gets dark and day is done

And lay me down
In the hallowed ground
Down by your side I will stay
So lay me down

And if you wanna stay with me
Then let me know before it's light
I, I will recoil myself
Into the black and darkest night

And lay me down
In the hallowed ground
Where my father waits I will stay
So lay me down

And lay me down
In the hallowed ground
Down by your side I will stay
So lay me down

Well this is how it starts Two lovers in the dark
On the run, from the one That they called Sheriff Spark
Six guns by their side and bullets around their waist
Two shots to the sky
Signal sound for the chase
The safe was nearly empty and They were nearly free
But were seen by the Good eye of the mean Billy Green
And he screamed at the top of his lungs They're on the run
It's the two outsiders Grab your horses and your guns

I said I wish that
We could stay here,
But I fear our time has come
We could ride out in the darkness
Chasing the rising sun
We gotta pack our bags this instant,
We're heading south-bound to the next town
And if we all arrive there so safely,
Baby you can

Lay me down...
Lay me down...
Lay me down...
Lay me down...

Well it's the story of the two
Always on the move.
They got nothing left to lose
'Cept their guns and their wounds
Now they're crossing borders
Sheriffs posse on their tail
They'd rather die together
Than be stuck up in a cell.
They drank up all the whiskey and They partied every night
Like it could be the last The bounty said shoot on sight.
So they chased the endless summer Though it came with the pride.
They wouldn't stop running till They found a paradise.
But the sheriff finally found them with his eyes seeing red.
So the lovers had to shoot him down and fill him full of lead
They were finally free To find a place to lay their head
And when they finally did he looked at her and then he said.

I said I think that we can stay here,
Cause I feel our time has come.
And we can walk down to the ocean,
And sit with the rising sun.
So unpack your bags this instant,
No more running from town to town
And now that we've arrived so safely,
Baby you can

Lay me down...
Lay me down...
Lay me down...
Lay me down...

Well you're my green-eyed girl And I've been running around with you.
It's the afternoon and we got nothing left to do.
So wipe the dirt off, or Take your shirt off,
And we should go hit the cantina, We got work off.
I said it's hot outside Let me go swimming in your eyes.
We've been running for a while
Why don't you lay down and make smile.
I could never ask for nothing better than this.
It's just tequila and the beach, that's why its salty when we kiss.

I said I think that we can stay here,
Cause I feel our time has come.
And we can walk down to the ocean,
And sit with the rising sun.
So unpack your bags this instant,
No more running from town to town
And now that we've arrived so safely,
Baby you can

Lay me down...
Lay me down...
Lay me down...
Lay me down... Lay me down...

Do you know me, or even see,
That my aggravations
Get the best of me?

And I'm tired of your side
Which should be so easy
And when it comes to pass, my dear,
Will you get me out of here?

I wish you knew me enough to care
That my frustrations
Can go nowhere

And I'm tired of your side
Which should be so easy
And when it comes to pass, my dear,
Will you get me out of here?

Lay me down

I get so weary sometimes
Of all the pain and the sorrow
There's too much on my mind
Where will the world be tomorrow

I can't sleep when I feel this tired
Funny how frustration breeds desire

Lay me down like a river tonight
Rush into me, rush into the sea
Lay me down in the naked moonlight
Quiet the currents that run inside of me
Lay med down, lay me down...

I held back for so long
Longer than anyone thought I could
In you I finally found
Somebody weird, somebody good

I didn't dare dream love could exist
I was scared to taste that deep a kiss

Lay me down like a river tonight
Rush into me, rush into the sea
Lay me down in the naked moonlight
Quiet the currents that run inside of me
Lay me down, lay me down...

I can't sleep when I feel this tired
Funny how frustration breeds desire

Lay me down like a river tonight
Rush into me, rush into the sea
Lay me down in the naked moonlight
Quiet the currents that run inside of me
Lay me down, lay me down...

Lay me down, lay me down...

I've played your game
And I've played it well.
I'll be another fool
To hang upon your wall.
I laid my heart out
Like an open book.
It's a simple thing and don't take much
To crack it open and bleed.
Lay me down.
Lay me down when you're through with me.
Lay me down.
Let me bleed when you're through with me.
Don't let me think you're wrong,
Just let me fall down.
I'll pick myself up again.
It's the kindest thing you can do for me,
So, woman, won't you lay me down.

I lied to myself.
Tried to believe in you.
But it's hard to rely on the ghost of someone you hardly even knew
You bring things out
Just to bring me down.
Then you twist them about and shove 'em in my face
Til my eyes can't see any good.
Yeah!

Got dust on my piano
And dishes in the sink
Your side of the bed is cold
I haven't slept a wink
So I read your goodbye letter
To the face inside my drink
Lay me down and roll me out to sea

Got your picture in my wallet
And some pictures in my mind
A pocketfull of memories
I never thought I'd find
And it's rainin' like a Monday
And the world seems so unkind
So lay me down and roll me out to sea

Lay me down, roll me out to sea
Callin' on a mighty wave to cover me
Lay me down
Roll me out to sea
Heaven, if you're ready shine your light on me

Now listen to my story
Cause I haven't told it all
I saw her with her new love
She turned to me and called
When they asked, "How ya' doing?"
I could crumbled like a wall
So lay me down and roll me out to sea

Lay me down roll me out to sea
Callin' on a mighty wave to cover me
Lay me down
Roll me out to sea
Heaven, if you're ready, shine your light on me

Lay me, La-La Lay me
La-La Lay me
La-La Lay me down
Lay me, La-La Lay me
La-La Lay me
La-La, Lay me down
Lay me, La-La Lay me
La-La Lay me
La-La, Lay me down

I feel weak, things get tough
Sometimes my knees can barely hold me up
I'm no fool, but it's said
You gotta walk a mile 'til you're outta my head

Come within, taste it up
Take a little bit and baby don't you give up
Cast your light, give a damn
You gotta make a move and show me where we can stand

Lay me down in darkness
Tell me what you see
Love is where the heart is
Show me I'm the one, tell me I'm the one that you need
(Come on)

Lay me down in darkness
Tell me what you see
Love is where the heart is
Show me I'm the one, tell me I'm the one that you need
(Come on)

Tell me I'm the one, tell me I'm the one that you need
Tell me I'm the one, tell me I'm the one that you need

[Nile:]
I got the time, itll be alright, yeah, I got the time
that you need (yeah)

We all weep, bleed the same
If you get the picture, leave it outta the frame
In the now, take a chance
Make a mess, and don't forget that life is a dance

Come within, taste it up
Take a little bit and baby don't you give up
Cast your light, give a damn
You gotta make a move and show me where we can stand

Lay me down in darkness
Tell me what you see
Love is where the heart is
Show me I'm the one, tell me I'm the one that you need
(Come on)

Lay me down in darkness (yeah)

La-la-lay me

La-la-lay me
La-la-lay me down
La-la- lay me
La-la-lay me down
La-la-lay me
La-la-lay me down
Lay me.. in darkness

I never thought I could feel this way
I never thought love could be true
For someone so independent, then along came, along came you

Chorus

And in the evening, I lay me down, I lay me down, I lay me down
And in the morning, I lay me down, by your side,
And in the evening, I lay me down, I lay me down, I lay me down
My days my nights my life, they start and end with you

You are my sun, my moon my stars
Forever yours forever free
Together as one, the world is ours
You are my destiny

Chorus

And in the evening, I lay me down, I lay me down, I lay me down
And in the morning, I lay me down, by your side,
And in the evening, I lay me down, I lay me down, I lay me down
My days my nights my life, they start and end with you

Chorus out

(Verse 1)
It's over, I quit.
I'm about as lifeless as it gets
It's not like I'm worth saving anyways.
I don't belong here, I never really wanted to be here.
Why can't somebody else take my place.

(Chorus)
Lay me down, I'm so tired.
Empty Inside, The life of the spider.

(Verse 2)
I'm useless, I'm done.
I've written letters to the ones
I've loved so much that it hurts to say goodbye.
Crossfade Lay Me Down lyrics found on http://www.lyricsty.com/crossfade-lay-me-down-lyrics.html
I don't wanna die, I just don't don't wanna be alive.

(Chorus)
Lay me down, I'm so tired.
Empty Inside, The life of the spider.

(Solo)

(Chorus)
Lay me down, I'm so tired.
Empty Inside, The life of the spider.

(Outro)
(Lay me down)
Yea, I feel such a feelin' that I never knew
Something I always thought I couldn't do.
But you don't know anything
That makes me feel life
Except making you bleed five times,
In one night.
You know you deserved it.

Want you here with me next to me
In my bed
That's all I want from you
I don't want you to fuck
with my head

Let me lay with you
Play with you
Do what I say
Want you now but I sure as hell
Don't need you to stay

Down (below)
Friday night I let you know
Lay me down (below)
Saturday I take you home
Lay me down (below)
Sunday I want you to go
(Lay me down now)

You let me in 'cause after all
it seemed like the right thing to do
Oh oh
I closed my eyes and let you fall
I wonder what you could possibly know
about breaking down that I don't

It's been a while
Since I begged for anything
but now I want more

So lay me down
I'm lonely
Oh oh
You don't understand me
And you never even tried to anyway

I hear you say, Its not the same.
I'm sorry, its something I just can't explain
So shut your mouth and hold me close
We both know its better then being alone

I don't mind
killin time
as long as I can see it in your eyes

So lay me down
I'm lonely
Oh oh
You don't understand me
And you never even tried

If wanting you is wrong
then I'm wrong I'll admit it
Time after time
you realize you don't mean it

So lay me down
I'm lonely
Oh oh
You don't understand me
And you never even tried

I'm sorry
Lay me down
I'm lonely
Lay me down

You don't understand me
And you never even tried to anyway

Wondering how
I figured it out
That I just waited for you there
Wondering how
I figured it out
Now I’m just stuck inside your stare
Wondering how
You figured me out
I’m just a nobody who cares

You say love should flow
Only I can say so
Alright, okay, lay me down
She’s good, all time, all around
Alright, okay, lay me down

Give me a sign
Say it’s okay
I need it to make it through the day
Give me your hand
Sell me your soul
I need it so I can feel control

You say love should flow
Only I can say so
Alright, okay, lay me down
She’s good, all time, all around
Alright, okay, lay me down

Baby, you can bring me down
If only I can make you frown
Baby, you can bring me down
I promise not to make a sound

Alright, okay, lay me down
She’s good, all time, all around
Alright, okay, lay me down
If she’s good, then I like how it sounds
Alright, okay, lay me down
You know, if she’s good, then I like how it sounds
Alright, okay, lay me down
No, no
