Lay Down
She comes from the sea at night
In drops of salt, sand and moonlight
She floats in the breeze and in the mist
She comes for your heart and for your cowardice
Her words a song, her gaze the sun
Alive to you, but a ghost to everyone
In daylight upon the waves she sleeps
At night within your dreams she just weeps
In the morning she's left without a trace
It's just you and your coffee and your own disgrace
She's back at sunset in her golden gown, and she says
Lay down
And there down by the old address
She stayed silent in the shadows more or less
Just patient for her opportunity
Come what may, accept her punchline gracefully
Chapters closed and business done
Her face betrayed no thought or clue for anyone
The air still before the storm
With nowhere to run, nowhere to hide, and no one to warn
In the bedroom there she floats above the waves
And ever careful what she kills and what she saves
But she's always back at sunset in her golden gown, commanding
Lay down
And when the breathless moment came she would appear
Slim hands hold a head and heart and wipe away a tear
And ever careful what she kills and what she saves
At sunset with her arms full she steps back upon the waves
In her golden gown, whispering
Lay down
Lay down
In drops of salt, sand and moonlight
She floats in the breeze and in the mist
She comes for your heart and for your cowardice
Her words a song, her gaze the sun
Alive to you, but a ghost to everyone
In daylight upon the waves she sleeps
At night within your dreams she just weeps
In the morning she's left without a trace
It's just you and your coffee and your own disgrace
She's back at sunset in her golden gown, and she says
Lay down
And there down by the old address
She stayed silent in the shadows more or less
Just patient for her opportunity
Come what may, accept her punchline gracefully
Chapters closed and business done
Her face betrayed no thought or clue for anyone
The air still before the storm
With nowhere to run, nowhere to hide, and no one to warn
In the bedroom there she floats above the waves
And ever careful what she kills and what she saves
But she's always back at sunset in her golden gown, commanding
Lay down
And when the breathless moment came she would appear
Slim hands hold a head and heart and wipe away a tear
And ever careful what she kills and what she saves
At sunset with her arms full she steps back upon the waves
In her golden gown, whispering
Lay down
Lay down
