I’ve decided
To let it go
As long as they can withhold
All the sweet dreams
Of bygone days
& let the past in peace
Lay me low
Lay me low
12 feet under the snow
Lay me deeper than my dreams
& let them stay there forever
A big
A big stack of letters
Written long ago
From a daughter who left the household
To far Middle East
& found herself a man
Who had lived without
Lived without
Lived without
Someone to
Lay him low
Lay him low
12 feet under the snow
Lay him deeper that his dreams
& let him stay there forever
& ever & ever
& now
It’s begun
Can’t go on
But I know that it’ll come again
& all I’ve prolonged
From day one
Well I know that it’ll come raining down
I can’t go on
Cause all you’re friends are bad
But I carry on
Cause all my friends are dead
Yes I
I’ve decided
To let it go
As long as they will
Lay, lay me low
12 feet under the snow
Lay me low, lay me low
12 feet
Lay me deeper than my dreams
And let them stay there forever
& ever again
