Lyrics
The sun bled like a wounded beast
lying down to die;
surrendering to the night,
to stars and the candlelight.
Ill sail until this ship goes down
into the stormy sea;
and resolutely close my eyes
while God and I make peace.
Lay me down; lay me down
upon this burning bed.
Lay me down, lay me down
on sheets of crimson red.
Please kiss my lips just one more time;
sing me your lullaby.
Hush, sweet lover, please dont cry,
just let me say goodbye.
Lets have no regrets, no sorrow,
no more tears tonight.
Transgressions not withstanding,
Ive made a mess of my life.
Lay me down; lay me down
upon this burning bed.
Lay me down, lay me down
on sheets of crimson red.
Ive let you down;
shattered your dreams
I broke your heart,
its such a tragedy.
Painted my part:
its my work of art.
Lay me down; lay me down
upon this burning bed.
Lay me down, lay me down
on sheets of crimson red.
