Lay Me Down

Wading through these daylight hours 'Till you bid me to retire So you lay me down In your bed of choking fires That bind with briars my joys and my desires But from you I can't resign So I'll brave the rust of time To take you and to make you mine Why don't you seem to understand Baby, I just want to be your man And no matter, no matter where we stand Baby, I just want to be your man Nothing new babe, I won't find you beside me For I've taken up a, a bitter tone So stop breaking down around me For I could never be alone I could never be alone, for it would turn this heart to stone So we'll meet upon the streets Where lovers often weep And I'll pray for us before this mercy seat Why don't you seem to understand Baby, I just want to be your man And no matter, where we stand Baby, I just, I want to be your man Alright
