Lay Your Head Down Lyrics

Deep in the valley back of the range
Time goes slowly, things don't change
Tattered pictures pinned to a wall
One love or no love at all

Take the sad road
That leads out of town
Don't say nothing
Just lay your pretty head down
Moonlight and roses

A trace of perfume
Yellow candles
Melt in your room

Tired eyes
Searchin' in vain
Long years
To wait out the pain

Way on the hill
They're waltzin' still
There's no winding track
To carry your baby back

Somewhere they're playin'
That old serenade
Two hearts watchin'
Their last sunset fade
High above the colours that burn
Dark clouds tumble and turn

Take the sad road
That leads out of town
Don't say nothin'
Just lay your pretty head down
