Lay Me Down Easy

Lay me down easy
Rest my head on a silver cloud
Try not to wake me 
Til the sun comes out
Hold me so closely
Wrap me up in a blanket made by hand
Under a shade tree
In a promised land

The mountain was tall and the valley wide
Dying to get to the other side
Dog-tired and ready when I arrived

Lay me down easy 
Lay me down easy 
Lay me down easy 

Lay me down easy
Leave your tears right here with me
Go on and paint your 
Own masterpiece
Hold me so closely
Like you did when the rain was pouring down
That night in the city
The wrong side of town

The mountain was tall and the valley wide
Dying to get to the other side
Dog-tired and ready when I arrived

Lay me down easy
Lay me down easy 
Lay me down easy 

The mountain was tall and the valley wide
Dying to get to the other side
Dog-tired and ready when I arrived

Lay me down easy
Lay me down easy 
Lay me down easy 
Lay me down easy 
Lay me down easy 
Lay me down easy
