Go Lay Down
Journey to Home: Clee Laster's Melodic Quest
Lyrics
An endless ride keeps me away from you
An ongoing journey keeps me distant from you
I tell myself, you've got to push on through
I remind myself to persevere and keep moving forward
I try to make myself presentable, but somehow I get lost
I attempt to make myself presentable, but I lose my way
Running low, I can't hide from you
Feeling depleted, I cannot avoid being noticed by you
Won't you tell me about the lines of demarcation baby please
Requesting information about boundaries or separations, asking for guidance
Tell me where they might be found
Asking where these boundaries might exist
We've been drifting for so long, we can't tell which way is home
We've been drifting aimlessly for so long that we've lost our way back home
It's time to go lay down
It's time to rest and relax
Mama take me home, can't sing another song
Expressing a desire for maternal comfort and a break from performing
It's time to go lay down
It's time to rest and relax
There you are, I let the light flood in
I finally see you clearly, like a refreshing sunrise
Like a sunrise fresh and new
Similar to a new beginning filled with optimism
Suddenly it seems the world slows down
Everything suddenly slows down, focusing solely on you
And all I see is you
My attention is solely directed towards you
I try a smile, but you see right through
Attempting to hide emotions behind a smile, but you see through it
Won't you tell me about the lines of demarcation baby please
Requesting information about boundaries or separations, asking for guidance (repeated)
Tell me where they might be found
Asking where these boundaries might exist (repeated)
We've been drifting for so long, we can't tell which way is home
We've been lost for so long that we don't know our way home
It's time to go lay down
It's time to rest and relax (repeated)
Mama take me home, can't sing another song
Expressing a desire for maternal comfort and a break from performing (repeated)
It's time to go lay down
It's time to rest and relax (repeated)
We don't always get it right, but that don't mean that we don't try
Recognizing that mistakes happen but emphasizing the importance of trying
All for one and one for all, all us fools lost in the night
Emphasizing unity and camaraderie, acknowledging being lost together
Coming home feels so good, we forget our last goodbye
Returning home feels comforting, overshadowing the pain of the previous departure
Though we'll never be satisfied, when that path seems out of sight
Even if satisfaction seems elusive, when the path forward is unclear
It's time to go lay down
It's time to rest and relax (repeated)
