Lay You Down-Nikki Lane

Lay You Down - Nikki Lane I hear him calling Say he's gonna leave He's gonna ride on the settin' sun He ain't scared to go there He's traveled before But tonight's gonna be his very last one And it's crazy all around Rustlin' in and rustlin' out The stereo's playing We're just passing time And there ain't much left to say here 'Cause when it all comes down We've left it all up to the toss of the dime And who's gonna lay you down tonight Tears falling like pouring rain And hold your hand while you wash away Who's gonna lay you down tonight Put aside the fear and the pain And hold your hand while you die She stands in the doorway She's got her head held high She knows his time on earth is done And that sparkle in his eye As the sun falls from the sky He says my love you are the only one I heard the news They laid him in a black suit with flowers all around The town is filled With strangers that love him still They've come to see his burial ground I say who's gonna lay you down Who's gonna lay you down tonight Tears falling like pouring rain And hold your hand while you wash away Who's gonna lay you down tonight Put aside the fear and the pain And hold your hand while you die I say who's gonna lay you down Who's gonna lay you down
