  • Lay down, sleep my little darling
    I'll be nothing when you're gone
    Lay down just like in a coffin
    Then I'll have nothing but a song
    Could I leave you in a coffin for real
    And just leave you in a church

    Lay down
    Leave you'll be lonely
    I know I won't go
    Lay down
    Sleep you'll be lonely
    I know I won't go
    It's not my turn

    Lay down, this pain will be long gone
    With the absence of your breath
    I know that you loved me
    But I can't love you when you're dead
    So I'll leave you in that coffin for God
    And I'll leave you in the dirt

    Lay down
    Leave you'll be lonely
    I know I won't go
    Lay down
    Sleep you'll be lonely
    I know I won't go
    Lay down before me
    I know I won't go
    It's not my turn Writer/s: DARREN T. HENSON, KEITH ISAIAH PELZER, MARSHA AMBROSIUS, NATALIE STEWART
