Lay Me Down

Lay me down by Hanson These lyrics seem about right Ill never walk away from this Ill pull you closely to my chest With a fathers breaking heart Ill 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 Ill carry you child to a place where you can rest Sweet tears that seep into the linens As I put you down to bed It tears me into pieces Watching you fight to fill your lungs with breath Theres no need to struggle Theres no need to struggle I lay you down Lay you down Dont you cry no more Ill lay me down Lay me down Well Im not ready Im not ready for this Im not ready, Im not ready for this There are no branches from this soil My broken spirit steals my voice I have no secrets to my name Only the shadows hide my shame And so if I lift you upon my shoulder Inside a splintered wooden chest To Avalon we line the streets I only hope that youll finally rest Im not ready for this Ill lay you down Lay you down Dont you cry no more Ill lay me down Lay me down Id gladly lay me down Lay me down
