Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Wake me my lady don't let me sleep
Open my eyes to the wonders you keep
Let me look at you see how you shine
I'll fall in love like I've done every time
[Chorus]
Lay me in soft green grass down where the river runs
Under the mountain caps gold with the setting sun
Walk me along the bay beyond the verdant trees
Carry me with your grace forever comfort me
[Verse 2]
You walk on water searching the East
The souls of the masses pass at your feet
Looking up at you tears in their eyes
Fathers of fathers of fathers gone by
[Chorus]
Walk me down old main streets ride me down rusty rails
Fields full of summer wheat peppered with rounded bales
Steeples where church bells ring lighthouses by the sea
Reach out through gathered storms faithfully comfort me
[Instrumental]
I am your tired
I am your poor in spirit
Yearning to breathe
Breathe, free
Breathe, free
[Chorus]
Lay me in soft green grass down where the river runs
Under the mountain caps cold with the setting sun
Walk me along the bay beyond the verdant trees
Carry me with your grace forever comfort me
[Chorus]
Walk me down old main streets ride me down rusty rails
Fields full of summer wheat peppered with rounded bales
Steeples where church bells ring lighthouses by the sea
Reach out through gathered storms faithfully comfort me
[Instrumental]
Hey, comfort me
Comfort me
Comfort me
Comfort me
