Lay Me Down Songtext

von Barry Manilow

Got dust on my piano and dishes in the sink
Your side of the bed is cold, I haven't slept a wink
So I read your goodbye letter to the face inside my drink
Lay me down and roll me out to sea

Got your picture in my wallet and some pictures in my mind
A pocketful of memories I never thought I'd find
And it's rainin' like a Monday and the world seems so unkind
So lay me down and roll me out to sea

Lay me down, roll me out to sea
Callin' on a mighty wave to cover me
Lay me down and roll me out to sea
Heaven if you're ready shine your light on me

Now listen to my story 'cause I haven't told it all
I saw her with her new love she turned to me and called
When they asked,? How ya doing" I could have crumbled like a wall
So lay me down and roll me out to sea

Lay me down, roll me out to sea
Callin' on a mighty wave to cover me
Lay me down, roll me out to sea
Heaven if you're ready shine your light on me
