Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She sees him laying in the bed alone tonight
Only thin' touchin' him's a crack of light
Pieces of her hair are wrapped around and round his fingers
And he reaches for her side, for any sign of her that lingers
[Verse 2]
And she says you are not alone
Laying in the light
Put out the fire in your head
And lay with me tonight
[Verse 3]
One of them bullets went straight for the jugular vein
There were people running, a flash of light, then everything changed
Nothing really matters in the end, you know
All the worries sever
Don't be afraid for me, my friend
One day, we all fall down forever
[Verse 4]
And you are not alone
Laying in the light
Put out the fire in your head
And lay with me tonight
[Verse 5]
The wedding date was June, just like any other bride
She loved him like no one before, it was good to be alive
Sometimes that can slip away as fast as any fingers through your hands
So you let time forgive the past and go and make some other plans
[Verse 6]
And you are not alone
Laying in the light
Put out the fire in your head
And lay with me tonight
[Verse 7]
You are not alone
Laying in the light
Put out the fire in your head
And lay with me tonight
