Lay Me Down
Eternal Yearning: Unveiling Depths in 'Lay Me Down'
Lyrics
I will write you letters that
I will communicate my feelings through written letters
Explain the way I'm thinking now
These letters will convey my current state of mind
I will return to you
I will come back to you
What I have taken long before
I will return what I took a long time ago
I will return again
I will return once more
When it gets dark and day is done
Especially when it becomes dark and the day ends
And lay me down
Request to be laid down
In the hallowed ground
In a sacred or revered place
Down by your side I will stay
I will remain by your side
So lay me down
Reiteration of the request to be laid down
And if you want to stay with me
If you want to be with me
Then let me know before it's light
Please inform me before dawn
I will recoil myself
I will withdraw or retreat into myself
Into the black and darkest night
Especially into a dark and intense period
And lay me down
Reiteration of the request to be laid down
In the hallowed ground
In a sacred or revered place
Where my father waits I will stay
Where my father is, I will remain
So lay me down
Reiteration of the request to be laid down
And lay me down
Repetition of the request to be laid down
In the hallowed ground
In a sacred or revered place
Down by your side I will stay
I will stay by your side
So lay me down
Final repetition of the request to be laid down
