Lay My Body Down
Bob Morrison / Joe Henry
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 candle stance
And hold them in your arm
Lie against me in the dark
And show me I've come home.
