Lay Me Down - Donna Lewis

In this dark corner there is light

Understanding what lies beyond

Is not to be afraid

But to look forward to

Another life

Full of light and colour

Happy at last

Nothing left to hide away

Nothing left to shield me

Fallen words on ocean clay

No shout will ever reach me

Nothing but the vacant eyes

Rising up above me

Body torn spirit whole

No knife can ever reach me

Lay me down

Cover me now

While the nightingales sleep

Under my feet

Lay me down

Cover me now

While the white water flows

Over me

Run across the hidden joy

Deliver me from evil

Rushing words in silent zones

Here are my people

I am the child borna again

Where beauty stands and waits

I am the child who loves and palys

I am the angel who waits

Lay me down

Cover me now

While the nightingales sleep

Under my feet

Lay me down

Cover me now

While the white water flows

Over me

And I will lie here with

My unfinished words

Lay me down to rest

Lay me where the nightingales sleep

Down — cover me now

While the nightingales sleep

Under my feet…

Lay me down to rest

Lay me where the nightingales sleep…
