Lyrics

Would you lay with me
In a field of stone?
If my needs were strong
Would you lay with me?
Should my lips grow dry
Would you wet them, dear?
In the midnight hour
If my lips were dry
Would you go away
To another land
Walk a thousand miles
Through the burning sand
Wipe the blood away
From my dying hand
If I give myself to you?
Will you bathe with me
In the stream of life?
When the moon is full
Will you bathe with me?
Will you still love me
When I'm down and out?
In my time of trials
Will you stand by me?
Would you go away
To another land
Walk a thousand miles
Through the burning sand
Wipe the blood away
From my dying hand
If I give my self to you?
Would you lay with me
In a field of stone?
If my lips grow dry
Would you wet them dear?
Would you bathe with me
In the stream of life?
Will you still love me
When I'm down and out?
Would you lay with me
In a field of stone?
When the moon is full
Will you lay with me?
