Lay Me Down Tonight

Harket Morten

Lay me down tonight, I'm falling deep


I'm tired, now I'll sleep


So close my eyes and take me in


I'll leap into the night like wind


I leave my body, leave my sword


So lay me own, Father Lord





Lay me down tonight, my heart is weak


Much you give and much you seek


I'll fall into a sea of sleep


This sea of dreams, so red and deep


I leave my spirit, leave my words


So lay me down, Mother Earth





Lay me down tonight, I'm giving in


Let the works of life begin


Your works of chaos, works of grace


Creation Lord, in your own pace


Word to flesh and flesh to word


Father Lord, Mother Earth
