I nev
er thought
I'd find my own way
That love had slipped away
and left me cold
I was swinging at shadows
I was handing out blame
I couldn't see it in my future,
or the wreckage of my past
Lay me down, roll me over,
be my teacher, be my lover
Show me how to fly
Help me to stay
With your healing hands
Would you drive with me westward
Put some mask beneath these wheels
Till trouble feels far be hind
All the passion in my body
Naked skin and naked soul
I need you to be mine
Somehow the words all failed me
In that quiet candlelight
But you smiled and touched me
Gently told me it would be alright
Lay me down, roll me over
Be my teacher, be my lover
Show me how to fly, help me to stand
With your healing hands
In a circle of two
Around Santa Fe fires,
we made magic with our eyes
And in the wasted snows
of Yellowstone
There was no one but God
and you and I to save our lives
But I swear I'll find religion
on the South Dakota plains
And in you I'll have salvation
over my poor lost remains
Oh, lay me down
Lay me down
Oh, lay me down
Lay me down
Oh, lay me down
Come on and lay me down
Oh, lay me down
Be my teacher
Be my lover, show me how to fly
Help me to stand
with your healing hand
Come on, lay me down, roll me over
Be my teacher, be my lover
I'll be your shelter,
yours to command
With your heated hand s
Come on and lay me down
Come on and lay me down
Oh, lay me down
Come on and lay me down
Oh, let me die
Oh, let me die
Oh, let me die
Oh, let me die
