Lay Down

Lay down your head Elizabeth,
Someone will come for you.
I'm sorry this upsets you
I see it's hard for you to understand

I won't pretend I know
What it feels like to lose your mind
Come ask me for answers, time after time,
I don't mind.

You call me over,
Just to have someone to smile to
Worried I'd forget about you
Don't doubt it for a second, all eyes are on you

I won't pretend I know
What it's like to be alone, and feel forgotten
Save me a seat next to you, time after time,
I really don't mind.

I overheard them saying
That he won't pull through
You know that too, only too well
You gently squeeze my hand
But nothing brings comfort to you

You've lived your life
Given him all the love you had
But you say you had so much more to give
Don't be afraid to cry,
Cry...

Lay down your head Elizabeth, He will come for you.
