Lay Me Down Lyrics by Hollie Smith

Coming In From The Dark

2021

[Verse 1]
A language never spoken set in its own cement
The praise that's always given by a muse who never speaks
A blessing never found, for the soul too dark to seek
And they should be forgiven
[Chorus]
Unlock the windows, let me fly
Lay your pennies on my eyes
Wash my feet and lay your wreath
Now I lay me down to sleep
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
[Verse 2]
The pressure to build this crown
Every diamond, every crime
For the one who builds the Kingdom that's fallen to the ground
For the ones always looking are the ones never found
And they too should be forgiven
[Chorus]
Unlock the windows, let me fly
Lay your pennies on my eyes
Wash my feet and lay your wreath
Now I lay me down to sleep
[Bridge]
Oh-oh, take my hands
This can be our last goodbye
Oh, don't think too much
And just breathe
Just be
And just be, oh-oh
[Chorus]
Unlock the windows, let me fly
Lay your pennies on my eyes
Wash my feet and lay your wreath
Now I lay me down to sleep
[Outro]
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, ooh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, ooh
