Lay Me Down

Lay me down by Hanson

These lyrics seem about right

Ill never walk away from this
Ill pull you closely to my chest
With a fathers breaking heart
Ill walk you one last time into the dark

There are no reasons to explain
A silent killer bears no blame
There are no answers though I pray
I die though this is not my grave

And I lay you down
Lay you down

Ill carry you child to a place where you can rest
Sweet tears that seep into the linens
As I put you down to bed
It tears me into pieces
Watching you fight to fill your lungs with breath
Theres no need to struggle
Theres no need to struggle

I lay you down
Lay you down
Dont you cry no more
Ill lay me down
Lay me down

Well Im not ready
Im not ready for this
Im not ready, Im not ready for this

There are no branches from this soil
My broken spirit steals my voice
I have no secrets to my name
Only the shadows hide my shame
And so if I lift you upon my shoulder
Inside a splintered wooden chest
To Avalon we line the streets
I only hope that youll finally rest

Im not ready for this
Ill lay you down
Lay you down
Dont you cry no more
Ill lay me down
Lay me down
Id gladly lay me down
Lay me down

Why is Zac's voice so freaking amazing in the second verse?? (Please don't take this the wrong way. Zac's voice is usually pretty good, it's just superior to normal there....)

[Jojanneke83]

@teartaye i didnt take it the wrong way :)

it depends on the song if his voice is just okay or really good, in my humble opinion :)

[figuemoino]

is this in the new album ?

[Jojanneke83]

@Figue, no it's on the The Walk cd, wich you get when you buy the The Walk book

[judycaneline]

@Jojanneke83 It's actually called 'Take the Walk' which is different from their last album, 'The Walk.' Maybe they just like being confusing :)

[Jojanneke83]

@judycaneline right, of course :)

[PieceOfPie14]

So powerful, Ike's voice really suits this song and it must be so hard for the three of them since they're all fathers. Makes me cry every time

[mimigaitaidesu]

take care of your loved ones while you have them. they are so precious. life is so fragile.

I said goodbye to my baby boy on July 28,10. I didnt really listen to this song until a few weeks ago..makes me think of my angel so much more. Bless all the little ones gone too soon.
