Won't you lay
Down beside where I've been laying
You change with the weather
You change with the weather, please stay
Down beside my cold, shaking body
And as we get older
If you leave, do well

Dear love, he was a good man
And I hope we rise to the occasion
And I run away to you
With every moment a way to shun the mistake

So lay
Down beside my nervous, sinking body
You promised not to change
You promised not to change, we're wide awake
Here in the bright streetlights of a city
You promised me
But if you leave
I hope you do well

Dear love, he was a good man
And I hope we rise to the occasion
So I run away to you
With every moment a way to shun the mistake

Who would ever want to spend so much time alone
Praise your name
Secrets we never got to tell

Lay
Down beside my ever-shaking body
Depends on the weather
Depends on the weather, just stay
Your cold blood running like a river
You promised me
You promised me

Dear love, he was a good man
And I hope we rise to the occasion
So I run away to you
With every moment a way to shun the mistake

It's too late
I'm always where I stay
It's too late
I'm always where I stay
