Gently waking A final skyward sigh Please, send me safely home It’s almost time Goodbye
Lay me down
The ocean at my window Here, here I find myself again All broken bones and eyes that wear their age Like going home is etched on every page
Fragile Atlas He carries that old smile He will stay his weary arms To just lay down a while
Lay me down
The ocean at my window Here, here I find myself again All broken bones and eyes that wear their age Like going home is etched on every page
No, won’t accept that’s the way I go (By my) Quiet hand, sinking slow Won’t accept that’s the way it ends (Won’t you) Stay like stone and mend I’ll wear the words like Atlas Never said the day I chose to stay And I wish I could have shared A fraction of the peace that I found then My friend
The ocean at my window Here, here I find myself again All broken bones and eyes that wear their age Like going home is etched on every page
