Proud and Lonely Lyrics by Jessye DeSilva

Renovations

2023

[Verse 1]
I hear those bells hollering your name
Cold, dark hills call for rain
Echoes fall, singing back to me this hollow refrain
Proud and lonely
[Pre-Chorus]
Fog is resting lower
And the trees are nearly gone
[Chorus]
Lay down, lay down, lay down, lay down, lay down
Lay down, lay down, lay down, lay down, lay down
Lay down those heavy bones you carry with you
Won't you settle down
[Verse 2]
Twilight woods, quiet as a graveyard
Well-worn paths haven't been the same
Strangling vines cover where I carved my name
Proud and lonely
[Pre-Chorus]
Aching in my back
And pins and needles in my toes
[Chorus]
Lay down, lay down, lay down, lay down, lay down
Lay down, lay down, lay down, lay down, lay down
Lay down those heavy bones you carry with you
Won't you settle down
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Lay down, lay down, lay down, lay down, lay down
Lay down, lay down, lay down, lay down, lay down
Lay down those heavy bones you carry with you
Won't you settle down
Oh, lay down, lay down, lay down, lay down, lay down
Lay down, lay down, lay down, lay down, lay down
Lay down those heavy bones you carry with you
Won't you settle down
