You Could Lay Me Down (Ode to Dom) Lyrics by Tim De Cotta

2017

You could lay me down
After you’re done with me
You could lay me down
There for the world to see
But I ain’t gonna give you a chance
To belittle me
And I ain’t gonna give you the chance
Till everyone will see
You can use me, abuse me, tear me apart, while you bruise me
You can tear the sheets that clothe me but you ain’t never gon’ expose me
You can break me, and take me to a place where others will hate me
But you can’t break this song
And everyone will see…
You could lay me down
After I’ve sung my song
You could lay me down
After my life has gone
But I ain’t gonna give you the chance
To take my art apart from my mind, my soul and heart
But I’ll only give you that chance
When my song is sung, not by me, but by the ones you thought you owned...
And everyone will see…
