Lay Me Down

I will lay me down for her
I will lay me down
Leaning on the evening star
Turn it towards the dawn

Part holds on tide like a sail
Part flies on a lone
There is nowhere else to go
Now that summer's gone

I can't tell where I let off
And where she begins
So you won't know which one you see
Whenever I walk in

We have been for way too long
Separate and alone
Together we must place our time
I am coming home

Beat and broken
I arrive
Pieces all around
A careful eye assembles me
Before she takes me down
Down

I will lay me down for her
I will lay me down
Leaning on the evening star
Turn it towards the dawn

Together we'll begin the fall
Autumn and beyond
We'll steal and burn the chilly nights
Now that summer's gone
Now that summer's gone

Away
