Lay Me Down by A Weather Lyrics
Your umbrella
Is fighting hard against the strong gale
Blowing off of the Atlantic
Shuddering around your
Brown hair
It's courageous, when it's spokes start bending
Trying not to go inside out
Trying just to do it's duty
To keep your hair dry and your shoulders
And you can see a lot of great, alive things
And know it means, something much more, than being alive
And you can see one girl hurt three people
In a half a week
And forgive her
You can find the strength, to let her sleep here
It's nothing doing, I've been much worse
I've mated ice cubes down my shirt
And then a warm fear (?), to dry the puddle on my belly
I have no problems
I have no right to be so tired
I slept all night and I'm exhausted
Did you have to be so strong?
Did, you have to be, so strong?
(Did you have to be so strong?)
And Jesus, just between you and me
I'm sick from the pressure box
And faces, I thought I'd forgot
If you could help me, that would mean a lot
Tucking back your hair
Right behind your ear
Like it belongs there
Like it should live there
Like it has a home there
To keep out of your face
To keep it out of your sight
Lay
Lay me down, like a stone
Raise me
And raise me up, like new breath
Lay
Lay me down, like a stone
Raise me up
(raise me up)
Like new bread
And it's no fun, standing here like a snowman
Trapped inside a cloudy snow-globe
Waiting for someone to shake me
And I can't sleep
When I know I'm gonna wake up
It's better not to know about stuff
Waiting for you in the morning
So, I push my hands under the mattress
Like I'm searching for, something secret
That I've hidden there
Why should we rely so much on new things, to replace the old
And strong light from the giant hand
That warmed us, as we went to sleep?
Tucking back your hair
Right behind your ear
Like it belongs there
Like it should live there
Like it has a home there
To keep it out of your view
To keep it out of your sight
Lay
Lay me down, like a stone
Raise me up
(raise me up) like new breath
Lay
Lay me down, like a stone
Raise me up
(raise me up)
Like new bread
Is fighting hard against the strong gale
Blowing off of the Atlantic
Shuddering around your
Brown hair
It's courageous, when it's spokes start bending
Trying not to go inside out
Trying just to do it's duty
To keep your hair dry and your shoulders
And you can see a lot of great, alive things
And know it means, something much more, than being alive
And you can see one girl hurt three people
In a half a week
And forgive her
You can find the strength, to let her sleep here
It's nothing doing, I've been much worse
I've mated ice cubes down my shirt
And then a warm fear (?), to dry the puddle on my belly
I have no problems
I have no right to be so tired
I slept all night and I'm exhausted
Did you have to be so strong?
Did, you have to be, so strong?
(Did you have to be so strong?)
And Jesus, just between you and me
I'm sick from the pressure box
And faces, I thought I'd forgot
If you could help me, that would mean a lot
Tucking back your hair
Right behind your ear
Like it belongs there
Like it should live there
Like it has a home there
To keep out of your face
To keep it out of your sight
Lay
Lay me down, like a stone
Raise me
And raise me up, like new breath
Lay
Lay me down, like a stone
Raise me up
(raise me up)
Like new bread
And it's no fun, standing here like a snowman
Trapped inside a cloudy snow-globe

Raise me up

Like new bread
