Lay Him Down (duet with Carrie Newcomer) Lyrics

[LAY HIM DOWN]
© Krista Detor, [Cover Their Eyes]

On Silver Creek [(lay him down, lay him down by the water)]
On the banks of the creek [(lay him down by the water)]
And he'll sing his sorrow from a place that's hotter, lay him down
[(lay him down)]

Lay him down
Lay him down
‘Cause the wage of sin is a place that's hotter
Lay him down, lay him down

To sin and woe [(lay him down, lay him down by the water)]
A wicked way did he go [(lay him down by the water)]
And he sold his soul to a place that's hotter, lay him down
[(lay him down)]

Lay him down
Lay him down
‘Cause the wage of sin is a place that's hotter
Lay him down, lay him down

Robert Wright [(lay him down, lay him down by the water)]
A bloody night when he fell [(lay him down by the water)]
Through the gates of hell to a place that's hotter, lay him down
[(lay him down)]

Lay him down
Lay him down
‘Cause the wage of sin is a place that's hotter
Lay him down, lay him down

Child, look away [(lay him down, lay him down by the water)]
From the grave that he made [(lay him down by the water)]
Or he'll sing your name from a place that's hotter, lay him down
[(lay him down)]

Lay him down
Lay him down
‘Cause the wage of sin is a place that's hotter
Lay him down, lay him down

Lay him down
Lay him down

On Silver Creek … on the banks of the creek
And he'll sing his sorrow from a place that's hotter
Lay him down
