Lie Down

Intro

Verse 1]

Close your eyes and drift away to where the grass is green

Leave behind the jagged edges of the life you’ve seen

The world is spinning far too fast for someone soft as you

So come and rest your weary head beneath the hazy blue

Verse 2

The copper bells are ringing out across the busy town

They’re trying hard to sell you things to keep your spirit down

But darling, there is plenty time for those who learn to wait

Just leave the trouble and the toil beyond the garden gate

Chorus

So lie down, lie down

And let the river flow

Lie down, lie down

There’s nowhere left to go

The world is far too cruel today, it’s much too loud and gray

So find a little patch of sun and hide yourself away

Verse 3

The moon is climbing up the hill to see if you’re alright

She’ll wrap you in a silver coat and kiss the world goodnight

So tuck your heart inside your chest and keep it safe and sound

Where all the bitter words of men can never quite be found

Solo Instrumental

Chorus

So lie down, lie down

And let the river flow

Lie down, lie down

There’s nowhere left to go

The world is far too cruel today, it’s much too loud and gray

So find a little patch of sun and hide yourself away

Outro

Lie down

Just for a little while

Lie down

I want to see you smile

The world can wait...

Yeah, it can wait...

Lie down.
