I will write you letters that
Explain the way I'm thinking now, I--
I will return to you
What I have taken long before, I--
I will return again
When it gets dark and day is done

And lay me down
In the hallowed 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--
I will recoil myself
Into the black and darkest night

And lay me down
In the hallowed ground
Where my father waits, I will stay
So lay me down

And lay me down
In the hallowed ground
Down by your side I will stay
So lay me down
