Turn the lights on, softly shining
And leave that woman where she lay
Make your plans there in the darkness
You've lived to work another day

I remember the stories that you told me
And I remember the roads that we would run
Speaking of the things that lie before us,
It kind of seemed like life had just begun

Tomorrow I will be there
To shelter you from the storm
So lay down your weary head now
Lay down
Lay down

Dust the book off, turn the pages
And let them take you back again
To see those people leaving traces
To hear the voice of one old friend
Once again you hear them say

Tomorrow I will be there
To shelter you from the storm
So lay down your weary head now
Just lay down
Lay down
Lay down
Lay down
Just lay down
Lay down
Lay your troubles down
Lay down
