(Chorus)
Lay down, I lay me down
Lay down, I lay me down
Lay down, I lay me down
For my soul.
By still waters I lay down with the lambs
In pastures green I made peace with my soul
And I cared not for the night
While my guiding star shone bright
By still waters I lay down, I lay down.
Chorus X 2
At the roadside I took toll of my times
In dirty streets I found peace for my soul
May the merciful be right
Are you ready for the night
At the roadside I lay down, I lay down.
Chorus X 2
In deep sorrow I took flight with the sun
From mountains high I gained strength for my soul
I proved stronger than the test
When my spirit came to rest
In deep sorrow I lay down, I lay down.
Chorus
