If you stay sober, I'll put the kettle on.
And you can come over, drink tea, and watch the lawn,
And I'll lay you down.
I'll lay you down
As the lights come on in town when day is over.
I wanted to die for two days in 95âЂ™
I stood by the lakeside and waited for the mood to be right.
As all the leaves turned brown,
I listened for the sounds starting to announce October.
Bridge:
I'll lay you down
you can empty out your mouth
and I'll arrange the room again when everything is over.
