Lay Me Down

from God Shaped Hole by Michael Weston King

/

lyrics

They buried me tonight in Corpus Christi
To the sound of my greatest hit from ‘74
They laid my body down
In the cold aching ground
Now you won’t see me anymore

I thought it only fair that you should be here
To see my final show before a crowd
I've died so many times
Once more won't hurt this life
But this is not the end, it’s just the door

Lay me down, lay me down
There’s a pretty thing that’s waiting underground

The road is smooth and cold as alabaster
It’s scarred and cracked yet perfect al the same
The trees that lined my path
Were all afraid to ask
If I’d be back this way again

So lay me down, lay me down
But let them know that I’ll still be around
Lay me down, lay me down
There’s a pretty thing that’s waiting underground
