I will write you letters    That explain the way I'm thinking now   I will return to you   What I have taken long before   I will return again   When it gets dark and day is done      And lay me down   In the hollowed ground   Down by your side I will stay   So lay me down      And if you wanna stay with me   Then let me know before it's light   I will recoil myself   Into the black and darkest night      And lay me down   In the hollowed ground   Where my father waits I will stay   So lay me down      And lay me down   In the hollowed ground   Down by your side I will stay   So lay me down
