Lay Me Down

Wading through these daylight hours
'Till you bid me to retire
So you lay me down In your bed of choking fires
That bind with briars my joys and my desires
But from you I can't resign
So I'll brave the rust of time
To take you and to make you mine

Why don't you seem to understand
Baby, I just want to be your man
And no matter, no matter where we stand
Baby, I just want to be your man

Nothing new babe, I won't find you beside me
For I've taken up a, a bitter tone
So stop breaking down around me
For I could never be alone
I could never be alone, for it would turn this heart to stone
So we'll meet upon the streets
Where lovers often weep
And I'll pray for us before this mercy seat

Why don't you seem to understand
Baby, I just want to be your man
And no matter, where we stand
Baby, I just, I want to be your man
Alright
