[Verse 1]
Lay me down under a sycamore
On sandy ground, I'm not worth the time
Anyhow you can see with a moment's glance
How I passed on every chance
Every chance, how I missed every chance
Every chance I had for love

[Refrain 1]
Lay me down, lay me down
Lay me down, lay me down

[Verse 2]
Lay me down, I'm ready now
I ran so fast, a life suddenly past
While I was locked
Behind those rusty bars
Gathering scars and thought myself too far gone
Too hard, too hard for love

[Refrain 2]
Lay me down (lay me down)
Lay me down (lay me down)
(Lay me down)

[Verse 3]
Lay me down, I need somеone now
Just bleeding out and I'm not worth a dime
Anyhow, I can't make it no morе
Alone behind the door
I'm dying all the time
Too late I opened my eyes
Lay me down, I need someone now
Will you be there
Will you be there
When I arrive, my love?
