Lay down, sleep my little darling
I’ll be nothing when you’re gone
Lay down just like in a coffin
Then I’ll have nothing but a song
I’ll leave you in a coffin for real
And I’ll leave you in a church
Lay down, leave, you’ll be lonely
I know I won’t go
Lay down, sleep, you’ll be lonely
I know I won’t go, it’s not my turn
Lay down, this pain will be long gone
With the absence of your breath
I know, I know that you loved me
But I can’t love you when you’re dead
So I’ll leave you with this coffin for God
And I’ll leave you in the dirt
Lay down, leave, you’ll be lonely
I know I won’t go
Lay down, sleep, you’ll be lonely
I know I won’t go, it’s not my turn
Lay down, leave, you’ll be lonely
I know I won’t go
Lay down, sleep, you’ll be lonely
I know I won’t go
Lay down, before me
I know I won’t go
It’s not my turn
