And Now I Lay Me Down

I passed the day okay

I earned a eulogy

For all to see

And now I lay me down

For soon I travel on

You pack away your tears

You play your music loud

For me to hear

And I can rest my bones

And you won't be alone

I'll send an offshore breeze

Just to comfort you

And turn you into a flower

So long to all our plans

I hope you understand

I'll do what I can

But it's you who carries on

It won't be so long

So much for all our time, so very much to do

And all for the story of leisure in the end

Where does the end begin?

I'll send an offshore breeze just to comfort you

And turn your fears to stone

(gentle music)

You take my love and put it away for you to dream on

You take my loneliness, trade it for someone you can lean on

I'll leave to you my scattered reason

It seems to me that everything returns

And the wind goes around once again

I passed the day okay

I earned a eulogy

For all to see

And now I lay me down

For soon I travel on

You back away your tears

You play your music loud for me to hear

And I can rest my bones

And you won't be alone

I'll send an offshore breeze just to comfort you

And turn your fears to stone
