Low Lays the Devil - The Veils

Quiet as that secret you keep

Still in your heart as you sleep

Old as the lay of the land

Cold as all matters at hand

Long as the river of song

Mad as the world it moves on

High as the heavenly sea

Low lays the devil in me

High as the heavenly sea

Low lays the devil in me

Straight as the wood of the cross

Wild as all the love that you lost

As sure as inside the egg lays the yolk

I’m standing outside the gates of hell

And I’ll keep singing 'til I croak (oh baby!)

High as the heavenly sea

Low lays the devil in me

High as the heavenly sea

Low lays the devil in me

Come lay your head on my lap

And let your hair fall back

You’ve got to live with yourself

So baby don’t look back

Come lay your head on my lap

And let your hair fall back

You’ve got to live with yourself

So baby don’t look back (Don't look back!)

High as the heavenly sea

Low lays the devil in me
