A friend says to me
“I need a place to lay my head down in peace”
I say her “if you find a place
That is big enough for me
Won’t you please let me know?”
I try to make a smile but it breaks as I stumble
So then I try to be as humble as I can be
To all these broken dreams
And now baby I hope you don’t think me cumbersome
Cause I need a place to lay my body down
My hands won’t open from pain
and my mind is consistently alive
Won’t you sing me to sleep?
Cause this silence won’t leave me alone
And I can’t close my eyes
In the eve of war that’s ahead
“I need a place to lay my head down in peace”
I say her “if you find a place
That is big enough for me
Won’t you please let me know?”
I try to make a smile but it breaks as I stumble
So then I try to be as humble as I can be
To all these broken dreams
And now baby I hope you don’t think me cumbersome
Cause I need a place to lay my body down
My hands won’t open from pain
and my mind is consistently alive
Won’t you sing me to sleep?
Cause this silence won’t leave me alone
And I can’t close my eyes
In the eve of war that’s ahead
