Lay me down by Zoli Althea Browne Lyrics
Lay me down
"Lay me down along the riverside
Rest my soul where I can see Distant
Stars and midnight wonders
Evermore my heart will be
Hold me close my children’s father
One last kiss before I go
To the land of Angels calling
Lay me down to call me home
When the sun heats down upon
Me lost forever cotton fields
When the moon reflects my suffering
And old hands at last have healed
Come to me Dhamballha Wedo
Keep my family safe and dry
Hold them close for I am leaving No more tears
No eyes to dry
Yes, stay close my children’s father
One last kiss before I go
For I rise now with the old ones
Finally here to guide me home
To the land ancestors call me"
"Lay me down as I go home."
"Lay me down along the riverside
Rest my soul where I can see Distant
Stars and midnight wonders
Evermore my heart will be
Hold me close my children’s father
One last kiss before I go
To the land of Angels calling
Lay me down to call me home
When the sun heats down upon
Me lost forever cotton fields
When the moon reflects my suffering
And old hands at last have healed
Come to me Dhamballha Wedo
Keep my family safe and dry
Hold them close for I am leaving No more tears
No eyes to dry
Yes, stay close my children’s father
One last kiss before I go
For I rise now with the old ones
Finally here to guide me home
To the land ancestors call me"
"Lay me down as I go home."
