Pine / Lay Me Down

I am strong because of you

Sure, there’s days that I’m a Pine

Seeking, searching all the time

For something new

Something to pretend

I am strong because of you

When I feel I’m in decline

I’ll eat a meal or two

And I’ll be new again

...

At the end of the day

When your thoughts have overcome

You can run, run away

Underneath the setting sun

To a notion of hope

All the motion of time

It’s the old words you spoke

As you fell back in line

Lay me down

Lay me down

Lay me down, I’m here to stay

Gather round

Gather round

I’m gonna lay beside you, gather round

And if words can hold you down

Break your bones and make you weak

You shout it out you say it loud

It’s in between the words you speak

Loving me, loving you

Love for them and all free

At a cost, there’s a few

But if it is love you seek you can

Lay me down

Lay me down

Lay me down, I’m here to stay

Gather round

Gather round

I’m gonna lay beside you, gather round

Even in that moment when I thought I’d lost it all

When I had fallen further than I ever thought I’d fall

I was reaching out and every old friend I would call

Would make my day

Oh my days

Lay me down

Lay me down

Lay me down, I’m here to stay

Gather round

Lay me down

Lay me down

Lay me down, I’m here to stay

Gather round

Gather round

I’m gonna lay beside you, gather round
