Lisa Stansfield Lay Me Down
In this dark corner there is light
understanding what lies beyond
is not to be afraid
but to look forward to
another life
full of light and colour
happy at last
Nothing left to hide away
nothing left to shield me
fallen words on ocean clay
no shout will ever reach me
nothing but the vacant eyes
rising up above me
body torn spirit whole
no knife can ever reach me
Lay me down
cover me now
while the nightingales sleep
under my feet
lay me down
cover me now
while the white water flows
over me
Run across the hidden joy
deliver me from evil
rushing words in silent zones
here are my people
I am the child borna again
where beauty stands and waits
I am the child who loves and palys
I am the angel who waits
Lay me down
cover me now
while the nightingales sleep
under my feet
lay me down
cover me now
while the white water flows
over me
and I will lie here with
my unfinished words
lay me down to rest
lay me where the nightingales sleep
down - cover me now
while the nightingales sleep
under my feet...
Lay me down to rest
lay me where the nightingales sleep...
