Lay You Down - Nikki Lane

I hear him callin'

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 playin', 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

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 who who

Who who who

Whooooooooo

Who who who

Who who who

Whooooooooo

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?
