Lay Back
Spellbound, he gave her his life
He did for her all that she pleased
He loved that she was his wife
With the nod of both families
Only three short years ‘til the end
Devasted, gutted, more
She walked away with his best friend
Cool your skin
Cool your skin
Ease your fevered brow
Begin again sweet man
Feel your feet
On shifting sands
Lay back into God’s hands
Coming off the cliffs to the shore
Dark waves throwing force
portray all his rage inside
He slumps down seaside
struggling with reasons why
why, why
rip tides of pain
He aches too much to cry
Cool your skin
Cool your skin
Ease your fevered brow
Begin again sweet man
Feel your feet
On shifting sands
Lay back into God’s hands
Going deeper to his neck
wishing he could drown
Will anyone be around?
Bracing cold, shivering
Shaking off his misery
Water washing him clean
Warm your skin
Warm your skin
Ease your creative brow
Begin again sweet man
Feel your feet
On smoothing sands
Lay back into God’s hands
Lay, lay, lay,
Lay back
Lay, lay, lay
Lay Back, Lay Back
la, la, la, hey – ay – ay
Lay Back
