Sissy Nobby Lay Me Down
It felt like spring time on this February morning
In a courtyard birds were singing your praise
I'm still recalling things you said to make me feel alright
I carried them with me today
Now, as I lay me down to sleep
This I pray, that you will hold me dear
Though I'm far away
I'll whisper your name into the sky
And I will wake up happy
I wonder why I feel so high
Though I am not above the sorrow
Heavy hearted till you call my name
And it sounds like church bells
Or the whistle of a train on a summer evening
I'll run to meet you barefoot, barely breathing
As I lay me down to sleep
This I pray, that you will hold me dear
Though I'm far away
I'll whisper your name into the sky
And I will wake up happy
Oh, darlin', as I lay me down to sleep
This I pray, that you will hold me dear
Though I'm far away
I'll whisper your name into the sky
And I will wake up happy
It's not too near for me
Like a flower I need the rain
Though it's not clear to me
Every season has it's change
And I will see you when the sun comes out again
As I lay me down to sleep
This I pray, that you will hold me dear
Though I'm far away
I'll whisper your name into the sky
And I will wake up happy
As I lay me down to sleep
This I pray, that you will hold me dear
Though I'm far away
I'll whisper your name into the sky
And I will wake up happy
I wonder why
The sun comes out again
When the sun comes out again
When the sun comes out again
When the sun comes out again
The sun comes out again
When the sun comes out again
Comes out, comes out again
I will wake up happy
This I pray
