Lay down now
Lay down your body in the sand
There's nothing more to lose, so lay down now

Let the tide flattering
Surround you wave by wave
And nurse you just for now forever

And I'd paint your face paint your face
Beautiful and more beside there where you lay
And I'd dance around where you rest
And pray God's presence there forever

Lay down now
Lay down now your strong, but weary hands
Your palms up the splintered sunlight falling

And I'd paint your face paint your face
Beautiful and more beside there where you lay
And I'd dance around you where you rest
And pray God's presence there forever
And you would not care
To open up your eyes in fear
'Cause there would be none

And once again you would hear thoughts of you
Once again you would hear thoughts of you
Whispered in your ear
