| © 1994, Linda Allen February 10, 1994 Lay It Down My young son - came through the door He was cryin' like I'd never heard before His friend, Tim - had taunted him And the hateful words lay scattered on the floor (And I said) Lay it down, Lay it down Let my breast be your pillow, lay it down Lay it down, lay it down There is comfort in my arms, lay it down The man I love was on the phone He said, honey, I am weary to my bones You know I try, but dreams can die So keep the light burnin, love, I'm comin' home Chorus The family's gone - I'm all alone And the sound of my own heart is gettin' strong And I know regret - Things I can't forget And I cry, God help me find my way back home (She said) Chorus Repeat chorus |
