Lay Me Down lyrics

I will write you letters that Explain the way I'm thinking now I will return to you What I have taken long before I will return again When it gets dark and day is done And lay me down In the hallowed ground Down by your side I will stay So lay me down And if you wanna stay with me Then let me know before it's light I will recoil myself Into the black and darkest night And lay me down In the hallowed ground Where my (fore)father waits I will stay So lay me down And lay me down In the hallowed ground Down by your side I will stay So lay me down.
