[Verse 1]
Lay down your head and weep mama, lay down next to me
Till you cross the borders of sleep mama lay down next to me

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I wish no words of sorrow, nor whisper words of spite
I let the darkness in your heart and melt into this night

[Chorus]
(Woh-oh) never before me, never before did it break like that
(Woh-oh) never before me, never before did it feel so bad

[Verse 2]
Drink some more of my wine mama and take some more of my bread
There's a million songs to be sung, but not a word to be said

[Pre-Chorus 2]
If I call on the angel of mercy, if I call on the angel of light
I'm way outta line but there ain't much time
The storm gonna break tonight

[Bridge]
(Woh-oh)
(Woh-oh)

[Chorus]
(Woh-oh) never before me, never before did it break like that
(Woh-oh) never before me, never before did it feel so bad
[Bridge]
Yeah
Oh
Woo
Hey

[Solo]

[Verse 1]
Lay down your head and weep mama, lay down next to me
Till you cross the borders of sleep mama lay down next to me

[Pre-Chorus 3]
Send a prayer up above to the pure white dove flying so high
I think the angel of mercy must have heard you cry

[Chorus]
(Woh-oh) never before me, never before did it break like that
(Woh-oh) never before me, never before did it feel so bad

[Chorus]
(Woh-oh) never before me, never before did it break like that
(Woh-oh) never before me, never before did it feel so bad

[Outro]
(Woh-oh) never before, never before
(Woh-oh) never before, never before
(Woh-oh) never before, never before
(Woh-oh) never before, never before
(Woh-oh) never before, never before
(Woh-oh) never before, never before
(Woh-oh) woh-oh-ohh
