I think its just a beautiful song and it tears at my heart when I hear it...
I'll never walk away from this, or pull you closely to my chest.
With a father's breaking heart, I walk you one last time into the dark.
There are no reasons to explain, a silent killer bears no blame.
There are no answers though I pray, I die though this is not my grave...
-And I lay you down, lay you down...
I'd carry you child to a place where you can rest.
Sweet tears seeping into my being as I put you down to bed.
It tears me to pieces watching you fight to fill your lungs with breath.
There's no need to struggle, no need to struggle...
-I lay you down, lay you down... don't you cry no more.
I'd lay me down, lay me down....
Well I'm not ready, I'm not ready for this...
Oh well I'm not ready, I'm not ready for this...
There is no friendship, no joy.
My broken spirit steals my voice.
I have no secrets to my name.
Only the shadows hide my shame.
And so I lift you upon my shoulder,
Inside a splinter wooden chest.
Together and alone we line the streets,
I only hope that you're finding rest.
-I'm not ready for this...
-I lay you down, lay you down... don't you cry no more
I lay me down, lay me down.
-I'd gladly lay me down, lay me down...
