A Weather - Lay Me Down lyrics

Your umbrella Is fighting hard against the strong gale Blowing off of the Atlantic Shuddering around your Brown hair It's courageous, when it's spokes start bending Trying not to go inside out Trying just to do it's duty To keep your hair dry and your shoulders And you can see a lot of great, alive things And know it means, something much more, than being alive And you can see one girl hurt three people In a half a week And forgive her You can find the strength, to let her sleep here It's nothing doing, I've been much worse I've mated ice cubes down my shirt And then a warm fear (?), to dry the puddle on my belly I have no problems I have no right to be so tired I slept all night and I'm exhausted Did you have to be so strong? Did, you have to be, so strong? (Did you have to be so strong?) And Jesus, just between you and me I'm sick from the pressure box And faces, I thought I'd forgot If you could help me, that would mean a lot Tucking back your hair Right behind your ear Like it belongs there Like it should live there Like it has a home there To keep out of your face To keep it out of your sight Lay Lay me down, like a stone Raise me And raise me up, like new breath Lay Lay me down, like a stone Raise me up (raise me up) Like new bread And it's no fun, standing here like a snowman Trapped inside a cloudy snow-globe Waiting for someone to shake me And I can't sleep When I know I'm gonna wake up It's better not to know about stuff Waiting for you in the morning So, I push my hands under the mattress Like I'm searching for, something secret That I've hidden there Why should we rely so much on new things, to replace the old And strong light from the giant hand That warmed us, as we went to sleep? Tucking back your hair Right behind your ear Like it belongs there Like it should live there Like it has a home there To keep it out of your view To keep it out of your sight Lay Lay me down, like a stone Raise me up (raise me up) like new breath Lay Lay me down, like a stone Raise me up (raise me up) Like new bread
