Lay Me Down

Lay Me Down
I'll never walk away from this
Or pull you closely to my chest.
With a father's breaking heart,
I'll walk you one last time into the dark
There are no reasons to explain
A silent killer bears no blame.
There are no answers though i pray
I die, though this is not my grave
And i lay you down, lay you down

I'll carry you child
to a place where you can rest
Sweet tears they slip into the linens
as i put you down to bed
It tares me into pieces watching you
fight to fill your lungs with breath.
There's no need to struggle,
there's no need to struggle
I'll lay you down, lay you down
Don't you cry no more
I'll lay me down, lay me down
Well i'm not ready, I'm not ready for this
Well i'm not ready, i'm not ready for this
There are no branches from this soil
(?? there are no banshees from this soul????)
My broken spirits steals my voice
I have no secrets to my name
Only the shadows hide my shame
So I lift you upon my shoulders
Inside a splintered wooden chest
To Avalon we line the streets
I only hope that you'll finally rest
I'm not ready for this.
I lay you down,lay you down.
Don't you cry no more
I lay me down, lay me down

I'd gladly lay me down, lay me down.
