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
[Chorus: ...]
