lyrics

Lay me down for another day
Close my eyes with dreams of you
I feel you near when you’re far away
And I’m too far away from you
I close my eyes, I am returned again
Over again in my sweet dream
I return and I am restored again
And I always dream of thee

I have wandered away so far
Wildish winds all in my hair
I have roamed and I’ve travelled hard
Though I love the wildish air
I would come back, I would return again
Never again to wander free
Never to roam, never ramble anymore
And forever be with thee

Can I lay down with you for a day
Close my eyes and dream with you
To feel you near me and hear you say
Stay beside me now I’ll see you through
Oh bring me back I would return again
Never again to wander free
If I return it will be forever more
And forever be with thee

I have wandered away so far from you
Wounded deep such a heart, so true…

Lay me down, it’s been a long day
And I am tired and torn in two
I close my eyes, I’m too tired to sleep
And I am too far away from you
I close my eyes, I am returned again
And your sweet face is all I see
If I return it will be forever more
And forever be with thee…
