Lay Down - The Devil and the Almighty Blues

Lay down on the ice cold ground

Finally I’m homeward bound

Eyes open so I can see

The world has lost its hold on me

Lay down in the light of dawn

I’ve done whatever to carry on

Last minutes, one last day

Finally nothing more to say

All your days have gone

No more days will come

For a short time the world was all light

Now that time has gone

All your days have gone

No more days will come

For a short time the world was all light

That’s all gone

Lay down, listen to the sound

Of the whole world coming down

Ashes will fall like snow

And time has come to let go

All your days have gone

No more days will come

For a short time the world was alight

Now that time has gone

All your days have gone

No more days will come

For a short time the world was alight

That’s all gone

Lay down, let darkness take you

The ferryman sees you through

You have paid the cost

Now look back on all you’ve lost
