You were there I dont know why Maybe we were brothers In another time Among a hundred trains And all those trite refrains Somehow you let your train go by
I said ive never felt pain I travel in submarines Dont think i'd make much of a swimmer So i live under the waves Because you cannot sink If you dont try to swim But somehow i just let you in
And i dont know how you made it past my guards You knew the secret of their hearts
Chorus So lay me down gently Gather me to you On a sleppy sea of indigo and blue Sing me a song thats tender And love will come to you On a sleepy sea my love will come to you
You said i understand your sense of fear The city's made of timber and the flames are on the hill But in a still born world, in a strange and troubled time I will sing you lullabies
And i dont know what tomorrow has in store But i will pin my heart to yours
Chorus So lay me down gently Gather me to you On a sleppy sea of indigo and blue Sing me a song thats tender And love will come to you On a sleepy sea my love will come to you
Bridge And at the crumbling of the hour, in her twilight evening gown Over waters emerald green we'll watch the silver sun go down.
