The sun shines its light on the rolling sea
The sea makes it's way to the next beach
The man soaks his soul in the salty deep
The soul will return to eternity

All our life running round & round
Just close your eyes, listen to the sound
It's all alright, everything as it should be

Lay me down
Lay me down
Lay me down tonight
Down from the fight, out of the spotlight

When all you want is loving and a daily feed
To find someone, a satisfying place to be
If you are looking for much more than this
You want something that just don't exist

I tried to beat the maker and his way
But all I got is all I want today
I'll take my time, everything as it should be

Lay me down
Lay me down
Lay me down tonight
Down from the fight, out of the spotlight

Oh that sun still shining on the rolling sea
And yeah that sea still moving to the next beach
If you are soaking in the salty deep
You will return to eternity

All our life running round & round
Close your eyes, listen to the sound
All alright, everything as it should be

Lay me down
Lay me down
Lay me down tonight
Down from the fight, out of the spotlight
