Lay Me Down (Roll Me Out to Sea)
There's dust on my piano
And dishes in the sink
Your side of the bed is cold
And I ain't slept a wink
As I read your goodbye letter
To the face inside my drink
Well, you can lay me down and roll me out to sea

Got your picture from my wallet
And some pictures in my mind
A pocketful of memories
That I thought I'd left behind
And it's rainin' like a Monday
And the world seems so unkind
So lay me down and roll me out to sea

Lay me down and roll me out to sea
Callin' on a mighty wave to cover me
Lay me down
Roll me out to sea
Heaven, if you're ready
Shine your light, shine your light on me

Now you've listened to my story
But I haven't told it all
Saw her with her new guy
She turned to me and called
When she asked how I was doing
I coulda crumbled like a wall
So lay me down and roll me out to sea
Lay me down, roll me out to sea

Callin' on a mighty wave to cover me
Lay me down
Roll me out to sea
Heaven, if you're ready
Shine your light, shine your light on me
