Lay Down Your Cross Lyrics by Elbow

Dead in the Boot

0

[Verse 1]
Lay down your cross
Cross off your day
Lady, lady
Turn off your phone
Lie where you lay
Lady, lady
Please, please

[Chorus]
Love, let me love
Love, let me love
Love, let me love
Let me love her again
Love, let me love
Let me love her again
Oh, yeah

[Verse 2]
Kick off your feet
Twist off your head
Lady, lady
Burn all your clothes
And then let's go to bed
And get lazy
Lay me
Please, please

[Chorus]
Love, let me love
Love, let me love
Love, let me love
Let me love her again
Love, let me love
Let me love her again
Oh, yeah

[Bridge]
You don't see me drinkin' alone
Do you, dear?
You don't see me drink on my own
Do you, dear?
You don't see me drinking alone

[Chorus]
Love, let me love
Love, let me love
Love, let me love
Let me love her again
Love, let me love
Let me love her again
Oh, yeah
Love, let me love
Love, let me love
Love, let me love
Let me love her again
Love, let me love
Let me love her again
Oh, yeah
