Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Will you lay me down?
Will you lay me down?
Will you lay me down to heaven's walls?
Where every sun is a setting sun
[Verse 2]
Will you take my hands?
Will you take my hands?
Will you take my hand a-to the water's edge?
Where every sin has been washed away
[Verse 3]
But I can't run if I can't walk
And I won't love if I can't stop
Every minute the pressure drops
From your first breath, 'till your heart stops
[Verse 4]
Will you let them pass?
Will you let them pass?
Will you let them pass across this killing floor?
Where every shadow is cast in stone
[Verse 5]
But I can't run if I can't walk
And I won't love if I can't stop
Every minute the pressure drops
From your first breath, 'till your heart stops
[Verse 6]
Carry me
Carry me
But you take, take, and it's never enough
You just take, take, and it's never enough
You just take, take, every part of me, all of me
