She Will Lay My Body on the Stone by Jack Garratt Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I am begging you
Please separate me from myself
I'm begging you
I am on my knees
Praying for mercy
Lay my body down atop the stone
[Chorus]
Even though it's cold
I will keep warm with every year that I have known
But there are still so many things she doesn't know
How can I tell her I'm unhappy and lonely?
[Verse 2]
When with you I go
Don't let her miss me
Please don't make her suffer for my selfishness
For it was my design
To make her happy
Whispers compared to the symphony she makes
[Chorus]
That plays in her smile
And when she moves it's like the sun is in my eyes
I only want to look upon her beauty
But I'm blinded by her light
Her radiance gone to waste on me
[Chorus]
A symphony she makes with her smile
And when she moves it's like the sun is in my eyes
I only want to look upon her beauty
But I'm blinded by her light
Her radiance has saved me
[Verse 3]
Oh, I am begging you
To let me stay here
I still have so many years to know
And when I see you next
I will be ready
For she will be with me
[Outro]
A hand to keep mine steady
Oh, she will lay my body on the stone
I am begging you
Please separate me from myself
I'm begging you
I am on my knees
Praying for mercy
Lay my body down atop the stone
[Chorus]
Even though it's cold
I will keep warm with every year that I have known
But there are still so many things she doesn't know
How can I tell her I'm unhappy and lonely?
[Verse 2]
When with you I go
Don't let her miss me
Please don't make her suffer for my selfishness
For it was my design
To make her happy
Whispers compared to the symphony she makes
[Chorus]
That plays in her smile
And when she moves it's like the sun is in my eyes
I only want to look upon her beauty
But I'm blinded by her light
Her radiance gone to waste on me
[Chorus]
A symphony she makes with her smile
And when she moves it's like the sun is in my eyes
I only want to look upon her beauty
But I'm blinded by her light
Her radiance has saved me
[Verse 3]
Oh, I am begging you
To let me stay here
I still have so many years to know
And when I see you next
I will be ready
For she will be with me
[Outro]
A hand to keep mine steady
Oh, she will lay my body on the stone
