WHEN YOU LAY ME DOWN

I’ll be judged by my body
and the numbers on my grave
The time I lived between them
and the pleasures I have had

But if you think you are special
then look around my friends
blood and bones that surround you
will be gone when you are dead

But if the soul gets stronger as your life gets longer
and it comes from heaven above
And if pleasure is so evil, and the work of the devil
then why is part of love?

CHORUS
when you lay me down, and you bring your sins to it
when you spread your skin, and I know that’s it’s you in it
when you touch my mind, till I no longer think with it
when you lay me down
when you lay me down

I’ll be judged by the things I have
taught to take and not to give
must not talk of the things I fear
or the lovers I have had

But if you think you are special
then look around my friends
blood and bones that surround you
will be gone when you are dead

But if the soul gets stronger as your life gets longer
and it comes from the heavens above
And if pleasure is so evil, and the work of the devil
then why is part of love?

CHORUS
when you lay me down, and you bring your sins to it
when you spread your skin, and I know that’s it’s you in it
when you touch my mind, till I no longer think with it
when you fill my dreams, till there’s no one but you in it
when you bring your love, and you no longer leave with it
when you lay me down
when you lay me down
