The Scoop
LAY ME DOWN
By Mimi Herrmann
Lay me down
Put some ivy at my head
Light a candle
For every word we’ve left unsaid
Words of love
Words of grief and
Lay me down, lay me down now
Lay me down
Late last night (while I was praying)
The Spirit I did see
And I told him (I was saying)
Everything you’ve meant to me
And he promised
To drop roses at your feet
Lay me down, lay me down now
Lay me down
Lay me down (now lay me down)
Put a lily on my breast
All the memories (that we’ve shared)
Take the good and leave the rest
Give all my love
For yourself just keep the best
Lay me down, lay me down now
Lay me down
