Lay Me Down

Lay me down in the tall meadow grass

and I’ll lay there deep in your arms.

Lie with me there in the sun ripening flowers

where the blue of the sky hides the clouds.

Lay me down there beneath darkening skies

and hold me close to your heart.

And lying there deep with our love complete

we’ll sleep covered over in stars.

But the future lies with us heavy and dark.

It has bitter sweet memories of now.

With the tastes of the past buried deep in our love

the tastes of the future are sharp.

So lay me down deep in the tall meadow grass

and I’ll lay with you deep in my arms.

Lie with me here in the sun ripened flowers

where the blue of the sky meets the clouds.
