Now I see I can't see myself
I believed I was stronger than I felt
Everything turned to golden
Then it fell apart
It's the same old story
It's the same sad song
Where did I go wrong?
[Chorus:]
Lay me down in the waves
Let the water wash away
And if I leave with the tide
In the morning I will rise
So lay me down
Don't lift me out
Let me drown
Take a breath
Hold it in and sink beneath
Feel the eyes of the living watching me
Lay me down in the water
Leave the past behind
There's a time to be born
And a time to die
And somewhere they collide
[Chorus:]
Lay me down in the waves
Let the water wash away
And if I leave with the tide
In the morning I will rise
So lay me down
Don't lift me out
Let me drown
I have walked in distant waters
Let me drown
But I never walked alone
Let me drown
If my heart should ever wander
Let the water lead me home
[Chorus:]
Lay me down in the waves
Let the water wash away
And if I leave with the tide
In the morning I will rise
So lay me down
Don't lift me out
Lay me down in the waves
Let the water wash away
And if I leave with the tide
In the morning I will rise
So lay me down
Don't lift me out
So lay me down
Don't lift me out
Let me drown
