Lay Me Down

The tide is running, with the wind in my face

Sirens are coming, so I can't leave no trace

When it rains and the black water rises

I feel the pain as I leave in the night

When it rains and the black water rises

I feel the blame crawl down my spine

Lay me down if they knew what I've done

Blood is flowing down the river and I'm holding the gun

I'm not one to run but my back is up on the wall

So I got to leave town before the tide falls

I loved you more than I could show

Sometimes we get hurt by what we don't know

When it rains and the black water rises

I hear her name in the wind in the night

When it rains and the black water rises

It ain't a game, I scream and I cry

I pray that the water wash my sins away

Lay me down if they knew what I've done

Blood is flowing down the river and I'm holding the gun

I'm not one to run but my back is up on the wall

So I got to leave town before the tide falls

Wash me away
